Detailed Condition Note
The aesthetic is in exceptional condition, with the iconic teal-grey casing completely bright, smooth, and free of the heavy scuffs or sun-fading typical of this model. Mechanically, it is a magnificent performer. The touch is remarkably smooth, utilizing a full-sized basket mechanism that gives it the snappy, rapid action of a standard desktop machine. Every alignment has been checked, and it supports crisp dual-color ribbon switching (Black and Red). While it is not equipped with a case, its stunning architectural presence makes it the ultimate permanent anchor for a modern writer's desk.
🧭 2 NEW Black & Red Ribbons included (1 already installed)
Extra NEW typewriter ribbons available for 5$ (request before checkout).

The jacket was beautiful but arms soo short for me - so it made a good gift for a friend
The typewriter arrived from Europe to the US sooner than scheduled which was a wonderful surprise. It was carefully wrapped so there was no damage at all. It was exactly as shown in photos online. All of the keys and functions work perfectly and I’ve been using it regularly with no issue. Highly recommend this business if you’re looking for a stress-free vintage purchase!
