PRICE REDUCED! Jade Cross Townsend Fountain Pen & Ballpoint set,RARE LTD EDITION

Description

Priced reduced!!
This is a "holy grail" set, near-mint condition, ready to write! A wonderful gift for a pen enthusiast (like you!).
This rare and barely-used vintage set includes:
One fountain pen
One ballpoint pen
The original box and booklets
A charming hand-signed inspection certificate
The original green-tinted converter (fountain pen)
Two ballpoint refills
4 fountain pen ink cartridges (there were originally more)
1 lovely glass bottle of fountain pen ink
The fountain pen has a gorgeous 18K medium nib. It has been used just a few times; it writes beautifully, as does the ballpoint. They are a joy to use.
Both pens are in excellent condition, with no scratches, chips or flaws. The fountain pen measures 5-7/8"and the ballpoint pen is 5-3/4".
They are made of real jade with 22K gold flecks and 22k gold plated trim. According to the accompanying insert, Cross layered jade particles onto the brass cap and barrel of the pen, suspended the gold flakes into the finish, and hand-applied multiple layers of clear lacquer to seal it. This set was produced from 1997-2001. Cross stopped making them because they became too expensive to produce.
Cross cites jade as being "the link that connects heaven and earth, the bridge from life to immortality…known for [its] healing powers…and also representing charity…courage…rectitude and honesty…wisdom…and equity…despite its sharp edges, it injures no one."
Friends, in times like these, who doesn't need a sword like this?
NOTES
The item you see is the EXACT item you are receiving. I have tried to describe it as well as possible. The pens are in excellent working condition, but understand that they are
vintage, used, as-is condition
. Please look at the pictures closely. If you have any questions or want more info, please feel free to send a message!
The fountain pen has only been used with quality, archival fountain pen ink that is appropriate for the pen.
I'm not sure of the original ink's condition (it's clearly liquid). It has not been tested so no guarantees. I believe it's green to match the pen. The ball point refills work.
Smoke-free, fragrance-free, mildew-free, pet hair free home.
Free shipping included within the U.S. Because of its value, the set will be shipped with tracking and insurance. If you do not want the box to just be dropped off and would like to add a signature to the shipping, please let me know!
