IDENTIFY CROSS ELECTRONIC PEN WITH AAAA BATTERY ??

[buyitwright]

Trying to identify this pen. Looks like a Townsend but insides very different. Cross on clip but I can make out FCC stamped on the cap and has what looks like a jewel on top of cap. Uses a single AAAA battery 

 

any help is appreciated

I don't even know where you'd GET an AAAA battery.  Sorry, I can't be of help about the pen.

Not sure. I wanted to find out before I try a new battery. I called Cross and they are to get back to me.

Small light?

Might be a  "Peerless"

Might it be a Cross Track-R, where you could supposedly track the pen if lost or stolen?

Given the battery size I'd say it is a laser pointer.  Unsure if A.T. Cross made a combo ballpoint/laser or if not then maybe the original manufacturer's cap was lost and a prior owner found the current Cross cap fit just as well.

   This is a long shot, but it looks like there isn’t much left to try. There’s a Cross dealer on Ebay named dalu1409. They’re located in Rhode Island and seem to be pretty knowledgeable about Cross- their store is Cross Pens 4 Less. Try contacting them.

Thank you. I reached out and he responded immediately. 
 

seems it’s a PDA stylus and came with a tablet. 
 

thanks to all for your input.

  Yay! I’m so glad to have helped you in some small way. Are you going to look for the tablet?

I have looked but not seeing this pen or the tablet.

Looks like it’s from the CrossPad 1998. Found a video on it.
