cross selectip refill

[Rodnall]

Does anyone know of a pen kit that uses the Cross selectip refill? I'm finally going to start turning some pens again and wanted to make a pen for my wife's cousin who has helped us a lot in the past. She's an architect and said she likes the felt selectip pen for drawing. I tried doing a search and haven't come with anything useful. Any help would be appreciated.

I was a "dealer" for those in the late 1990's. I believe they were discontinued in the early 2000's. They fit our (all handmade type) rollerballs--Jr. gents, and a bunch of antiques--probably most everything penmakers make from "kits".

I you want the felt tip use Schmidt felt tip 6040

Ed, I'm a little slow. Are you saying that the selectip refill fits all the rollerball kits? I just found the Flat Top American™ Rollerball Pen Snap Cap from barea that specifically states that it takes a selectip refill.

The Cross website still lists the selectip refills. Search Results

Is the Schmidt felt tip 6040 the same as the selectip felt?

LOL, which shows my timeline is about correct:biggrin::biggrin:

The Flat Top American was very popular in the late 90's (when there was precious little else)!!

Yes, I am saying I expect they will fit most kit rollerballs.

I think it is better. I have used this for a number of customer projects. The customers were in the engineering field.
