Cross Townsend with President Obama's Signature
In 1846, in Providence Rhode Island, a family with a history as jewelers turned their attention to the creation of gold and silver casings for pencils. This started Richard Cross and his family down the path of creating one of the most successful and distinguished pen companies of modern times. The Cross Pen Company continues on today with a wide variety of ballpoint and fountain pensin the mid-price range.
One of their longest running and most popular lines is the Cross Townsend. The Townsend was created for those who value individuality.This unique pen line embodies the classic American elegance and finesse of 1930’s Art Deco design. Every pen in the line-up has distinctive finishes, precious metals and the signature double band that has become a monikor of the Cross brand. And to top it off, the Townsend, like all Cross pens, delivers a lifetime of smooth, effortless writing. But don’t take our word for it. Just ask President Obama.
Back in 2009, then President-elect Obama ordered specially designed Cross Townsend black lacquer rollerball pens to sign his inaugural documents. The pens came complete with the presidential coat of arms and included the now President Obama’s engraved signature. These Townsend rollerballs are still available (sans the presidential coat of arms and engraved signature) at a price that can’t be beat.
But presidential accolades aside, the Townsend Collection is full of fine pens in many styles and designs. So take the time to look over this fun and reliable brand of pens. I’m sure you will find a few that catch your eye and fit your budget.
