AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This refined Cross Century set, consisting of a pen and a mechanical pencil in 1/20 14KT Gold Filled finish, is presented in excellent condition, standing out for its warm shine, classic elegance, and impeccable overall presence. The gold plating maintains a uniform luster across the entire surface, with well-defined reflections thanks to the iconic longitudinal striation of the Century collection. Only very slight micro-marks are visible, typical of minimal handling and entirely consistent with a vintage piece carefully preserved.

The clips, firm and perfectly aligned, preserve the sharpness of the Cross engraving without losing the gold finish. The tips and front sections show a clean shine, with no notable wear or signs of heavy use. The pen mechanism operates smoothly via twisting, with no looseness or noise; similarly, the pencil holder activates its lead advance system precisely and smoothly.

The upper ends in black resin are intact, with no cracks or abrasions. The inscription '1/20 14KT Gold Filled' remains fully legible on both pieces, confirming the authenticity and quality standard typical of Cross writing instruments from this era.

The set comes with its original Cross case, kept in magnificent condition, with a clean satin-lined interior free of stains or tears, enhancing the premium presentation of the set. It also includes the protective textile covers, rarely found in used sets, which demonstrates a superior level of preservation.

Overall, this is a collection set, very well preserved, functional, and visually impeccable, ideal for lovers of classic writing and for those seeking pieces in 14KT Gold Filled in outstanding condition, ready to display or gift.

Good auction!
