vintage CROSS ladies purse pen in burgundy with gold plate trim c.1980—very good

Description

Offered for your consideration is a vintage
CROSS
ladies ballpoint pen
, made in the USA c.1980. Featuring the silhouette of CROSS’ classic business pen, but without a pocket clip, it features a metal cap and barrel enameled in burgundy with gold plated trim and decorated center.
Please see the large photos that I’ve taken and read the remaining description to decide if this lovely CROSS pen should be yours.
The CROSS ladies pen, sometimes called the purse pen, is in clean, very good condition. It measures just under 5¼” long x 5/16” thick. There are no dings, noteworthy scratches, or undue tarnish, just some faint usage marks from the years. Overall, this pen presents very nicely.
What’s more, the barrel twist mechanism extends and retracts the point smoothly, without fail. It has a CROSS ink cartridge in medium point blue that’s still writing. When it runs out, CROSS refills are available just about anywhere pens are sold, and, of course, on eBay. Also, these ladies pens typically came with a small leather sheath—the “pen purse”—but it’s not available here. Lastly, the pen has terrific balance, adequate mass, and feels great to write with!
So, as pictured and described, this CROSS ladies’ ballpoint pen is offered at a competitive price.
