Description:
For several months I was unable to buy the Ico MP1. And this typewriter was on offer on the Internet bazaar for thirty percent of the price of the Olivetti typewriter for almost half a year. I thought he had a problem. And really, the cover is damaged in one place on the right back. But it's almost invisible.
A wonderful example of Italian design, elegant glossy black color. Fully functional and ready to work. Interesting and timeless travel cover, also with accessories. Czech keyboard.

Historical typewriters, cameras, sewing machines, ... - all beautiful things, that work only on the basis of human skill and ability. Therefore, they deserve our attention and respect. I do not want to let those inventions that pushed us forward much faster than we were prepared, them disappear in this way.
Lives in Michalovce, Slovakia. Proud father of two children. Started collecting in March 2020. More a hunter than a collector or restorer. But determined to change it and bring the machines to a new life. Thank you in advance for any of your advice and help. (English is not my strong side, so I use Uncle Google's help. Correct me anytime).
