About Antique Cross Pens

Founded in 1846 in Providence, Rhode Island, the A.T. Cross Company originally manufactured fine gold and silver pencil casings and coverings. Cross, a skilled pencil maker, invented the propel-repel mechanical pencil, the basis for today's mechanical pencils. He also pioneered the stylographic pencil, the forerunner to ballpoint pens. The company began making fountain pens in 1938, including many in the Art Deco style.
