CROSS8751 Push-In Style' Converter for Fountain Pens, Suitable for Cross Classic Century, Townsend and Calais Models - Enables Use of Bottled Ink, 1 Pack, Black/Silver

Excellent.

Great convertor for Cross fountain pen - good price. Does the job. Have several for different colours of ink.

Not sure why this product is listed as a toy, but there we go.So obviously this converter is for Cross Townsend pens, but the comparison I draw is to my old Waterman pen and its converter.In many senses, it does what it needs to - it plugs in, sucks ink and allows it to be drawn out again during normal use.My only real disappointment is the air gap - with my old Waterman, when it sucked ink, it was full. Any air bubble could be flicked to the top, pushed out and refilled with ink. By comparison, it is difficult to get this converter more than 2/3 full of ink.It's not really a problem - I quite enjoy filling the pen, but it is an annoyance when my (broad nib) pen doesn't make it through a long meeting.

I won a Cross cartridge pen in a crossword competition. The pen was a cartridge version and I wanted to use as a fountain pen. Previous fountain config adapters I've had on various different pens have relied on squeezing a rubber ink sac to draw up ink into the reservoir and have generally involved a couple of squeezes to get sensible amount of ink and almost inevitably ended up with general inkiness on fingers or desktop. This design costs more, but uses a piston in the barrel and a screw to draw ink into the reservoir. Much more reliable, generally less messy and quick to use. Worth the money with a very nice pen.

5 ***** . Excellent product. Fantastically well above average. Even better than ever. Loving the shoe 👟.

Guess!

This is a high quality converter - it is solidly built, attractively designed and easy to use. A small air bubble forms, as is expected, but if its that important to you then a little concerted effort will remove it without too much hassle. Overall far more economical than cartridges, and you can choose from any number of inks. I personally use Diamine ink, which is high quality and very well priced. The Cross cartridge shape looks attractive, but unfortunately on comes in small and you cannot fit any other type of cartridge into the model which I have. For me this was a must have, and I am glad that it performs so well.

arrived the following day and fit /works as expected
