About Cross
Established in 1846, the A.T. Cross Company is one of the oldest manufacturers of fine writing instruments. With more than 21 registered patents, the A. T. Cross Company developed and marketed many important "firsts" in the field of writing instruments, including the propel-repel mechanical pencil and the Stylographic pen. Their repertoire has expanded over the years to include luxurious timepieces and beautiful, personal accessories.

The exceptional quality of Cross products is attributed to a design process dedicated to luxurious details and to Cross' employees, who share in the company's goal of quality in the manufacturing process. Cross allows any employee in production to reject a part or product that appears faulty, dramatically increasing the overall integrity of their products.

All Cross writing instruments are guaranteed against mechanical failure, regardless of age.

2.0 out of 5 stars Where was it made?, February 20, 2007
By 
This review is from: Cross Classic Century, Lustrous Chrome, Ballpoint Pen (3502) (Office Product)
Before you buy, be sure to check where the pen was made. I have a number of older Cross pens that say "USA" near the top, and they are great pens. However, I have bought three different ones in the past few years that do not indicate where they were made, and they are of inferior quality. The top and bottom halves are loose, and have to be carefully manipulated to come together without a gap. The first one I got, I sent it back to Cross for warranty repair under their "lifetime guarantee," only to receive it back unchanged telling me that it was just fine - and a "handling fee" attached.

I was willing to believe it was simply an anomaly, one bad pen. So later on when some new colors came out, I bought two more - only to see that they have the same quality defect.

My advice: if you want a good Cross pen, go to the secondhand store and buy one that was made in USA. They aren't making them the same anymore.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not what they once were., March 22, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cross Classic Century, Lustrous Chrome, Ballpoint Pen (3502) (Office Product)
Just received my pen today. Feels cheap compared to one I got 12 years ago. Feels a little gritty when you twist it. Not smooth and well machined like my old one.

I won't be buying one again. Crossing "CROSS" off my list.

Update. The Pen got much smoother after about a month and I have been using it for a couple of years now.

I gave it two more stars that did at first.

Guess the finishing is not as good as it once was but did get smoother over time.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great small pen, March 18, 2003

This review is from: Cross Classic Century, Lustrous Chrome, Ballpoint Pen (3502) (Office Product)
It seems that everyone is using these enormous fat pens with cushioned grips these days. I like to have a small pen that can fit whereever I need it to, whether it's in my pocket or in my checkbook. This pen fits the bill. It's slim and comfortable to write with. It is also very sturdy.
