About the A.T. Cross company

The A.T. Cross Company was established in the USA in 1846 and with that, it is one of the oldest pen companies in the world. As the company was founded by a family of jewelers, it initially manufactured gold Cross pen casings and silver Cross pen casings. Over the years, the pen manufacturer has been quite successful in innovating writing implements: it was the producer of the predecessor of the mechanical pencil as we know it today.

With a Cross pen, you know you purchase a pen of the highest quality. Ever since the 1970’s the company has been the official supplier of writing utensils for the White House. They are used to sign executive orders and given out as souvenirs to those who attend the signings of the legislation.

Cross pens for sale in our range

In our assortment, we have a wide variety of luxurious Cross pens for sale, in the mid-range of the market. Because of the history of the family as jewelers, you’ll get pens made with jewelry-quality craftsmanship combined with resourceful design, for a great Cross pen price. With a handwritten note or letter, you leave a lasting impression on the recipient of the note. When you write by hand, you put time and effort into what's written. 

Cross fountain pen

One of the types of Cross pens produced by the company is the Cross fountain pen. The first fountain pen appeared in 1889 and was called the “Peerless”: they were the first company to successfully introduce the fountain pen as we know them today, so it didn’t have any “peers” back then. Soon after its appearance, it became an American Classic. The Cross Peerless is still available today. In our range, you’ll also find plenty of other Cross fountain pens like the Bailey fountain pen and the Townsend fountain pen.

Cross ballpoint pen

Another type of pen is the Cross ballpoint pen. In 1953 they produced and introduced their first ballpoint pen. After eight years of improving the technology behind this type of pen, they could finally introduce the perfect Cross ballpoint pen. Nowadays the ballpoint pen is still the most used: it’s easy to use, plus there’s a great choice in colors, materials, and designs. The company’s ballpoint pens have a twist mechanism to expose or extract the ballpoint tip. Because of this, you can safely take your ballpoint with you without the ink spilling into your pocket or bag. The Classic Century ballpoint pen is one of the many ballpoints you’ll find in our range.

Mechanical pencil

A Cross mechanical pencil is great for those who love to illustrate and design. You can start using the pencil after twisting the pencil cap two or three times. Since the pencil makes use of pencil lead, you can use the eraser at the end of the pencil to erase what you’ve drawn or written. Once you’ve used all the pencil lead, you can easily unscrew the casing to refill your mechanical pencil with a new pencil lead. One of the luxurious mechanical pencils in our range is the Cross Classic Century mechanical pencil.

Rollerball pen 

Rollerball pens are as easy to use as a ballpoint pen but have the beautiful script of a fountain pen. So if you’re looking for a pen that’s a combination of a Cross fountain pen and a ballpoint pen, you’ll find the perfect pen in a Cross rollerball pen. The liquid ink flows easily over the paper and quickly dries when it leaves the pen. A pen that’s very similar to the rollerball is the gel pen. This type of pen uses water-based ink, like a rollerball pen, but has many more options when it comes to the color of the ink. One of the rollerball pen series in our range is the Cross Century II rollerball series.

Cross pens and pencil set

If you’re looking for the perfect gift for a loved one, or perhaps just for yourself, you’ll find it in our luxurious pen range. Think for example of a Cross pen set. These sets consist of a Cross fountain pen plus a Cross ballpoint pen or a ballpoint pen plus a mechanical pencil. This way you don’t have to choose between two pens and you immediately have found the perfect gift you’re looking for. In our range, you’ll also find gift sets that consist of Cross pens and a pen pouch or a journal.

Cross pens engraved

At P.W. Akkerman we can make an already special gift even more special. When placing your order online, you can choose to have your Cross pens engraved. The choice is between one or two lines engraved on the pen itself, or you can choose to have a plate engraved with a special quote, name, or date. This way you have a personalized Cross pen, which makes the perfect, and above all, unique gift.

Pen series

The pen company has produced a variety of pen collections and series over the years. We already mentioned some of them, like the Cross Century II pens, Townsend pens, and Edge pens. All of these Cross pens are unique in their designs, but still have the same quality that you’re used to. In these series, you find the different pens the pen company produces, like fountain pens, mechanical pencils, ballpoint pens, and rollerball pens. So there really is a pen or pencil to suit everyone’s taste and you’ll find them all in our wide range.

Cross pen refills

Do your Cross pens need a refill? With the pen refills in our assortment, you don’t have to worry about your pen running out of ink. Here you’ll find plenty of different types of pen refills, like a Cross ballpoint pen refill and Cross fountain pen refills. You can easily unscrew your pen and refill it with a new ink cartridge or pencil lead. A fountain pen can be refilled with either an ink cartridge or a Cross fountain pen converter and ink from an inkwell. The last one is a way of refilling your fountain pen without disposable cartridges, which makes it a sustainable and ecological choice.
