Description:
A superb example of a very rare model 17. I believe only about 4,500 were manufactured..and this has a QWERTY keyboard. My favorite part is the goldenrod keys. They appear original and in perfect condition. Fully functional and a pleasure to type on. I have the case which is a little worse for wear, but I have it...no key

I am an avid typewriter enthusiast with currently over one hundred (100) typewriters in my collection (and growing). I am a proud TWDB Patron. I have also collected vintage briefcases (mostly Hartmann) Movie Cameras (8mm & 16mm) and many Fountain Pens. I am the author of the novella 'Killer on the Canvas'. I am also a big Don Quixote fan. I make my home in Southern California.
My Typewriter manufacture dates currently range from 1883 to 1996.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Torpedo 17 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Torpedo Serial Number page and the Torpedo 17 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
