The Collector’s Choice for a Reliable Luxury Experience

The Brother Deluxe 1300 is a trusty and reliable manual typewriter, representing the peak of portable functionality from the 1970s. While most compact typewriters lack advanced formatting options, this premium "Tabulator" version features dedicated hardware allowing you to set and clear custom column indents across the page. Professionally cleaned, lubricated, and tested, this unit is in perfect working order, showing only tiny aesthetic signs of past use that highlight its authentic vintage soul.

Detailed Condition Note

Aesthetically, this machine is in beautiful shape, displaying a clean cream-white shell with crisp black accents and only minor signs of vintage wear. Mechanically, it is a flawless performer. The key action is incredibly fast, crisp, and snappy—uniquely characteristic of Brother’s short-stroke segment design. The custom tabulator system has been fully cleared, tested, and works perfectly. The typewriter includes its original soft-side carrying case; please note that while the fabric is clean, the zipper track is split and requires repair or replacement to fully close.
