Description:
This typewriter has come from the beautiful town of Tarancón, beautifully packed and works also beautifully. Just beautiful. Made in the United Stated, marketed in France and it has ended up in Spain. A true traveler! If I had to tell somethig "bad" about it, it would be the nerve raking AZERTY keyboard (I know I complain about it a lot, but I find it hard to use), and the weird numbers, with the symbol on the regular positions and the numbers on the caps.
A really nice machine. Looks extremely good and works just like new. And I even got it at a decent price. Sometimes you regain your confidence in the online market.

The first typewriter I saw was my grandpa´s Olivetti Linea 98 at the office. It was just a curio for me. Then I was given a Nakajima, which I didn´t use and my grandfather took it from me because it was easier to handle than the bulky Linea 98. Now I own that typewriter, and I started a little collection in Valladolid, Spain. The Nakajima, which is "my" typewriter only returned home in 2017, almost 20 years later, when he wanted a better typewriter.
A collection that started small grew into something bigger, a nuisace for my family and a great source of satisfaction for me.
