The Cross Pen Co
AT Cross

168 Devonshire St.   Boston
53 Warren St     Providence RI

AT Cross began in 1846 by Alonzo T. Cross. Their original products were mechanical pencils and some other related pieces.  In the 1870s they began selling their stylographic fountain pen which was basically the same as the Mackinnon pen with some modifications. Traditional eyedropper filled fountain pens [with gold nibs] were sold starting in 1885.
I believe they dropped out of the fountain pen business before 1910 but did come out with a new line of pens in the 1930s to augment their new streamlined pencils.  .
