First introduced in 1946, the Classic Century sleek silhouette comes as a reminder even today of the mid-century modern design. Pencil listed here is part of the Classic Century line and it has all the characteristics that the line is distinctive for which are simplicity, quality materials and elegance.
It is crafted in 14K rolled gold and as opposed to gold plate the gold wear off on roled gold is unlikely to happen.
The pencil’s simple yet powerful form ends in classic Cross conical-top profile with a flat black insert at the top.
It features subtle incised line design which gives the pencil an even more refined look.
The branding name of the company is seamlessly incorporated on the clip. The top part features nice crisp engravings that read “Cross”, “1/20 14K Rolled Gold” and “Made in Ireland”. The 1/20 stands for the gold which means that the pencil is at least 1/20th gold by weight.

The pencil uses a smooth twist mechanism, which deploys the leads quite nicely and easily.
It uses 0.5mm sized leads which are very durable and perfect for any kind of drawing, several leads are included with the pencil.
The pencil is very well balanced, with a perfect grip and easy to use. The fine tip of the pencil is retractable which protects it from damage. A perfect choice for your daily drafting and drawing practices.

The pencil comes in a mint condition ready to be used.
