Wow! What a find this machine is. It is a portable typewriter, complete with its original case, from the 1920's. It only has 28 keys with 3 characters on each typeslug. Yes, THREE characters on each typebar. The machine has accomplishes this with the use of a DOUBLE SHIFT mechanism. There is one shift for upper case letters and another shift key for figures/numbers and symbols.
Most portable typewriters have 39 or 42 keys. This one has 28, or only 3 rows of keys instead of 4, and why it is so compact. This antique typewriter is indeed a collectible item.

Everything on the machine is operating properly and the type style is clean and crisp for a 80 year old machine.
I have installed a new ribbon on this typewriter so it is ready for your enjoyment. This typewriter would make a great yesteryear display or a wonderful movie prop as it is still operational. The original leather carrying handle is long gone from the old case, but a small leather belt would work just fine. |
