Description:
Presumably extensively used by a woman, who did not use the case a lot and placed the machine in a room with ample daylight.*
*Assumption based on the finger nail marks on the keys, the nail polish on the ribbon cover, the relative good condition of the case and the discolored and worn body.

I live in The Netherlands.
Most common typewriter brands over here are Triumph/Adler, Olympia, Erika, Olivetti, Remington and Brother.
I collect and restore typewriters to learn about their design and to write with them.
