The Cross International Tennis Hall of Fame fountain pen, launched in 2004, was conceived as a limited edition to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, an institution that honors the legends of world tennis. This piece belongs to the renowned Townsend line of the Cross brand, famous for its elegant design, robust body and high-end materials. On this occasion, the pen was crafted in solid sterling silver (.925 grade), with a finely engraved finish depicting vintage tennis rackets, evoking the classic heritage of the white sport.

As a tribute to the founding of the salon in 1954, production was limited to just 1,954 numbered units, giving it an exclusive and collectible character.

This model represents not only a high-quality writing instrument, but also a symbolic piece: it was given as an institutional gift to legendary tennis players such as Steffi Graf and Stefan Edberg at the time of their induction into the Hall of Fame.
