A local jewelry store had a 'tent sale'. I picked up two cross fountain pens for $20 each. The tags suggest the store sold them for $200 or so. I bought them 'as is' and they didn't have a converter. Not knowing which pens I have, how do I know which converter or which refill cartridge to buy?
Cross fountain pens - no model type or converter

Do you have a picture?
All Cross pens take both. It is easier to find cartidges at most of the big box office supply stores. You can get a converter over the internet. Cross makes excellent fountain pens and they have excellent customer service.
Which Cross pens are we talking about?
AFAIK, there are 2 types of Cross converter, and they list on the package with specific models you can use each with.

The Cross website will tell you too.
I had a similar situation. There are two types. One screws in and one doesnt.
i matched mine up with the pictures and found the right one

The top one looks to be a Townsend. They made them in a lot of different finishes.
It takes the screw in type converter.
The bottom one looks like an Apogee to me. I like the look of it.
I don't know which converter it takes.
Nice score they are good pens.

I'm Glad to hear that Louie! I love knowing I got a bargain!
Nah, you overpaid a lot.
One of the services the B+B provides is a refund for scam victims. Send me the pen and I'll get you your $20 back

Very funny. A Cross Townsend with a two-tone nib goes for anywhere from $120 to $300 so to get a new one for $20 is definately a steal.
