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).

Let customers speak for us
The whole process was great and the typewriter came packaged amazingly well. Arrived in perfect working order and with another ribbon. Such a great piece! Will definitely do more business with this shop!
Viskas gerai. Gavau tai ko norėjau.
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!
Amazing Customer service. I would buy from this company again <3
A+++++ SELLER!!!! EXCELLENT shipping. Wonderful packaging. The item was perfectly as described. EXCEEDED expectations. I found it to be a tremendous value. Freaky fast shipping. 5-Star Trusted Seller!!!!! Great quality. Impeccable condition. Loved the value. Super perfect appearance !
Very grateful for my first typewriter and Evgeny's excellent customer service!
FABULOUS ... absolutely MARVELOUS! I thoroughly enjoyed my shopping experience from start to finish. The Seller left his door open for repeat and referral business! Thank you very kindly.
Exactly as described. Going to be a fantastic gift for the writer in the family. Excellent attention to contact and questions.
These are the best typewriters on the market today. Meticulously restored, and cleaned, and they are working like they are brand new. I've bought two so far and will buy more from here in the future!
This is a gorgeous typewriter and looks brand new.
I am delighted with my rare Pluma 22 typewriter. It arrived in timely fashion, well-packed, and in full working order with its case and cover and two working ribbons. The price was not cheap, but reasonable for a typer that rarely turns up in the UK, and in full working condition despite being from the late 1960s. Seller was helpful. Only issue, if you're buying from the UK, they send via FedEx who will charge you a hefty tax and handling fee of 20-25%, so you need to factor this into the price if you're buying from another country. Seller did provide a discount to ease that blow. I'm very happy with my typewriter and would buy from them again.
El RastronAntiques did a fantastic job of describing their typewriter and delivering it. Lots of communication along the way assured me that they are reliable and that my item would arrive as expected.
My typewriter arrived as promised; quickly and in working order.
It looks brand new! From Spain to North Carolina, I’m happily amazed.
Olympia Traveller Deluxe, German, 1970s, securely packed, arrived intact and in perfect working order, reconditioned like new, a fully working antique, a small machine that meets my immediate need, making a one-off micro-book of 100 of my own haikus, written for this express purpose, arranged in used teabags sealed in beeswax and bound in cloth covers.
