Description:
I got this typewriter from the Dutch Marketplace. I liked the design and the IJ key. Normally on a Dutch QWERTY there is only a lower ij. But on this one, there is also an capital IJ. So I can write IJsland with one space shorter for example.
I put a dual colored ribbon in it. But I foujnd out that the typewriter could not switch between the colors. I have to put an other ribbon in it.
Has a QWERTY keyboard with the ij and Ć (Dutch Guilder) key.
