Description:
The typewriter is still dirty with old oil and also has visible traces of rust. But it works now. I want to thank Mr. Kónya for his patience because he had to completely disassemble 2 carriages and save at least one of these beautiful typewriters. It was probably brought to Czechoslovakia after WWII and the keyboard was changed to Czech.

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).
