With only 170 pens created, this collectible is a true work of art inspired by the original 1936 Century line, but designed for the 21st century in custom wrought 21KT solid gold with a genuine brilliant-cut diamond crowning the conical top that made the original Century famous. The celebratory pen will be individually serialized 001-170 to confirm its authenticity and available in both Ballpoint and Fountain pen.
Classic® Century ® 170th Anniversary Gift Set
The Classic Century 170th Anniversary gift set commemorates both the 70th anniversary of the Century pen, and Cross' 170th anniversary.

Packaged in a custom outer sleeve and accompanied with a commemorative romance card, this gift set pays true homage to the anniversary of this Cross icon.
Peerless Fonderie 47 Collector's Edition
This very special Cross Collectible Rolling Ball Pen is part of a series of writing instruments made in collaboration with Fonderie 47 to support the vision of an Africa free from assault rifles.

About CROSS
The story of the CROSS brand begins in 1846 when artisan Richard Cross, in partnership with his son Alonzo Townsend Cross, revolutionized fine writing instruments.
