I once interviewed at the A.T. Cross co. many years ago in Lincoln RI. At the time they had an engineering dept. and a manufacturing facility there. I took a different job somewhere else but it is my understanding that the Lincoln RI business is no longer there. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I have also heard the same as what was said about the quality issues with the newer pens. It seems that they are riding on their reputation. I have an old Cross pen that belonged to my great uncle. It hasn't been used in at least 13 years since he died but I'll try to remember to post a pic this weekend.

I bought a cheap watch from the crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says "now"
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong
And if I have trouble the warranty said
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On
