Description:
From the collection of a friend. Beautiful 3-bank olive green Hammond, fully functionable with QWERTY keyboard. I got that simple typeface sample while testing the machine for him. The ribbon is dry but the typewriter writes beautifully and very well aligned, except from the numbers, they need adjustment. Has its original case in perfect condition, given its age. I am not very sure about the exact year of manufacture, Hammond lists here are not very helpful at the moment, but did a guess by seeing other machines.

Writer and blogger from Athens, Greece. I own a small collection of typewriters, most of my machines are functional and I try to repair any with problems that keeps it from typing. For me, it is important for a typewriter not just to sit on a shelve for display, but to be able to type when I want to. On the links below you will find my blogs and social media profiles. Feel free to follow me and get in touch if you want. I am always happy to communicate :)
