Description:
Bought from Pelicram. For much better photos see his listing: https://typewriterdatabase.com/1929-corona-four.22861.typewriter
Excellent condition. Types and prints very nicely, despite the hard platen. Not really suited for serious sustained work, especially as the keyboard has no brackets/parentheses, but it's nice for certain kind of writing work. Not a big fan of the paper fingers.

I have been looking for ways to spend less time on electronic devices, and because of this I started doing my writing and translation work with pens and pencils, and now on typewriters as well.
I will probably start selling and giving away some of my machines after I figure out which ones are most useful to me. Some people have asked me for a working typewriter, so I have been on the lookout for machines purely for that purpose as well.
Machines sold/given away:
Triumph Gabriele 20
Hermes 3000 (3rd gen., French)
Student (Brother) Deluxe 850TR
Optima (Zentronik) Mod. 42
Scheidegger (Olivetti) President
Reviews done so far:
Erika Daro Model 41
Hermes 3000 (3rd gen.)
Olivetti Lettera 32
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Corona Four on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Corona Serial Number page and the Corona Four By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
