"Cross" pen makers

[ed4copies]

If you make and sell a lot of "Cross-type" pens, please send me a PM.

Include how many pens you expect to make before the end of the year and what method you use to sell them.

I need a few people to confirm that a refill is "better than average".

Thanks,
Ed

I don't sell nearly as much as I buy, but I look forward to your results.

If anyone goes to one of those pen gatherers, you could make an interesting booth by playing "Guess the refill: "stock" or "premium" " and see if a large sample of pen people can spot a difference. It would probably "sell" me on the notion that a cross is significantly better or no different than another.

If nothing else, I like studies... I always read more than the abstracts as well though...

I like Monteverde better than Cross. I sell more Parker styles, but just bought some monteverde from you.

I have made in excess of 300 this year. Does this qualify?

We do a fair number of Streamline / Creekline cross style pens but I'm overstocked on them at the moment as mostly fountains and rollers have been moving the last few shows.

As for refills, I find that Cross or Monteverde are actually noticeably better when writing. I do use Private Reserve but that's mostly to just make sure it's a fresh and full refill since the Daycom refills have a habit of being mostly dried up.
