Dear future buyer, This elegant writing instrument has been carefully inspected, cleaned, and prepared for use. It is ready to be enjoyed immediately and appreciated for years to come. This is a Cross Century II Art Deco fountain pen, a refined modern interpretation of classic 1930s design. Crafted with a lustrous platinum-plated finish and beautifully engraved geometric detailing, this pen reflects Cross’s signature balance of tradition and contemporary elegance. Its sleek silhouette and solid weight provide a refined writing experience, suitable for both everyday use and formal occasions. The pen features a smooth, 18K gold nib that delivers a consistent, elegant writing flow. Its precision and balance make it a pleasure to use, whether for correspondence, journaling, or signing important documents. As a vintage objects collector myself, I made sure you will get a fully functional and complete piece of art, using my extensive knowledge and handling them with care, as I would do for myself. Please Note: - The pen is a cartridge type, compatible with any modern cartridges. - The box in the back is not included (i have just the lid and not the whole box) - The shipping will be done with the best protective packaging, insurance and a tracking code, as I would do for myself Thank you for your time and happy treasure hunting!
