Description

We go to estate sales regularly and come across a wide array of unique and rare items. We add to our growing online inventory daily. We pick up new items from all over the world and all over the US. We also have a growing customer wish list. If you'd like to, feel free to add us to your saved seller's list and let us know what you collect and/or need. We’d be honored to add you to our customer wish list. We ask what we consider to be a fair price for anything we sell and understand that our idea of a fair price may be someone else's 'that's too much' price. If that's the case, feel free to make us an offer and will consider it. We also have sales regularly, so check back often. There is always a Sale by TheBay! Now onto the item for sale. For sale is a vintage Cross chrome ball pen and mechanical pencil set. The pen has a blue ink in it that does work, although we can't attest as to how much ink is left in it, but refills are readily available on here. The mechanical pencil has one lead in the feeder and several more inside, as well as a new eraser. In case you missed it, the pen has a smooth barrel near the tip whereas the pencil has grooves, for lack of a better word, on the barrel near the tip. We think it's safe to say that this isn't a 100% matching set, so we wanted to make sure you were aware of that. Both pieces work as expected and they are both in excellent, vintage condition. There are some marks and scratches on each piece that you would expect from a set several decades old and we also noticed two very small dents on the barrel of the pen below the clip and near the tip. We also noticed that the black cap on the top of the pen does separate from the metal, but does not detach from the pen. We trust this could easily be firmly attached with a dab or two of super glue, but we did show it pulled apart from the pen body. This set will be shipped in a padded envelope via insured ground advantage with the USPS. We put all our items that ship in padded envelopes in between cardboard and bubble wrap if necessary for extra protection during shipping. Thanks for looking and God bless!
