​The Quintessential British Typewriter
​Up for sale is a beautiful Imperial Good Companion Model 4, a staple of British office and home life in the late 1950s. Manufactured by the Imperial Typewriter Co. Ltd. in Leicester, England, these machines are legendary for their durability and "heavy-duty" typing feel. This specific unit features the iconic Imperial badge and a stylish metallic blue/grey "hammertone" finish.

​Care & Condition
​Maintenance: The machine has been lightly surface-cleaned. The keycaps have been wiped down, and the area around the segment and logo has been dusted to ensure it arrives looking its best.
​Aesthetics: The body is in [good] vintage condition. The hammertone paint is famously resilient and retains its mid-century luster.

​Mechanics: * The carriage moves smoothly across the rails.

​All keys strike and return

​The original sculpted keycaps are intact and comfortable for long typing sessions.
​Ribbon: Includes the original metal spools.

[Note: A fresh ribbon is recommended for the best print quality.]
