Condition Description

This typewriter shows normal signs of cosmetic age and handling. The black gloss enamel body remains smooth with distinct gold logo lettering and intact decals. The keys are fully intact, clear, and show a natural aged cream patina. Mechanically, the typewriter keys actuate, click, and clack smoothly when pressed. It has not been tested with paper as none was available, and it is being sold as-is. The wooden storage case shows typical exterior scuffing and edge wear to the black textured finish, but the hardware latch and internal mounting baseboard remain secure. Please see the photos to view the overall details of this vintage machine.
