19xx Atlas Portable Serial # Xxxx 19xx Atlas Portable typewriter, Serial # Xxxx Reinier Verkleij's 19xx Atlas Portable typewriter. 2024-02-05 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Reinier Verkleij: 19xx Atlas Portable Serial # Xxxx Look how they massacred my boy.
This Atlas was destroyed by the previous owner with a spraycan.
It now sits in my collection as a reminder that we must do what we can to save these machines.
For this one, it is too late. Some of the parts seems to be either missing or dislodged. I have no reference machine so it will sit as being broken. The segment is filled with paint and dirt. The spacebar does work. Ribbon spools go when the mechanism is manually pushed. However, carriage wont advance when using the keys.
It was once black, as seen in one of the pictures.

22 year old Dutch collector. Interested in any era of typewriters except for most post 1980's machines.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Atlas Portable on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Atlas Serial Number page and the Atlas Portable By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
