Description:
Made in the Eastern art of Germany. In Greek mythology, Urania was the muse or goddess of astronomy. But one cannot see any astronomical symbol or indication that this was named after her. It's sadly missing its ribbon. But I believe it still runs.

I'm an archaeologist who writes heritage books and collects Japanese ceramics as well as quite a number of typewriters that I've acquired through purchase or as gifts over the last 10 years in the Philippines as well as in the US and Japan.
I'm currently a visiting professor at a university in Japan and it is heaven here to see so many typewriters being auctioned online!
