Description:
Made by what became of the U.S. Oliver typewriter company, the Courier is the more mainstream cousin, built in England. While some of the controls are peculiarly located, it is an enjoyable machine to use, and this model is fitted with Printype, the original typeface from the old Batwing. Sadly, the typebar cover logo has dropped off somewhere in the past.
