From the Manufacturer Inspired by an art deco design from the Cross archives, each Townsend is the essence of style and sophistication, a work of art to be treasured. The wide-diameter barrel is graced by a double band. Fountain pens sport two-tone 18 karat gold/rhodium-plated nib and offer convenient push-in ink cartridge or optional converter. Updated in new two-tone finishes, the Tango is primed for the scenes of Black Tie elegance for which it was named. Hand-polished Lacquer barrels with corresponding engraved Rhodium caps, the Tango is in perfect step with both luxury and class. The essence of Cross.
