Description:
There was some sort of marker writing saying " '67" so I had thought it was a 1967 make typewriter. According to the database, to my pleasant surprise, this machine was most likely made in 1950.
I bought this with the case in quite poor condition, with both zippers damaged and the snap-button closure needing some re-stitching. I have yet to undertake repairs. The machine itself needed some servicing and one or two new parts to get it to work properly, but overall is working well now.
