The Collector’s Choice for a Reliable Luxury Experience
The Brother 210 is a trusty and reliable manual typewriter, representing the height of Japanese portable design from the 1970s. Celebrated for its slim "briefcase" profile and incredibly fast, light touch, the 210 is a favorite for writers who want a machine that is both stylish and mechanically straightforward. This specific unit is in excellent aesthetic condition, looking almost new. Please Note: While the machine works perfectly in every other regard, the type slug for the letter "A" has detached and is included for resoldering.

We have provided a full type sample so you can appreciate the perfect alignment of the remaining keys.

Excellent service. The typewriter was as described, and was sent carefully packaged to avoid damages.
Works perfectly! Arrived safely and well packaged.
Some universal ribbon spools may slip if they don't lock into the slot on the machine. I held mine in place with a Doonail sticker and everything is working perfectly.
Great shipping arrived as described.
This typewriter arrived earlier than expected, well wrapped and padded to ensure no damage, and exactly as shown in the photos and description. All of the keys and functions are working properly and smoothly. It came with two ribbons that are working perfectly. The case closes securely over the typewriter and the color is vibrant with very little wear and tear marks. The seller was very communicative along the way and delivered on everything promised. I’d highly recommend them to others!
A wonderful typewriter! I had a minor issue with the drawstring but I was able to resolve it very quickly with Evgeny’s help. Works like a charm. Thank you!
