Description:
This typewriter came to me from St. Petersburg. The sweetest pot-bellied Optima, reminiscent of an old-fashioned fridge. In the original, it was in Latin, but it was re-brazed in Soviet times with a state standard typeface. The "excellent" quality of the re-brazing can be seen on the type sample. I would like to pull out the hands of this "skilful master".

Hi everyone!
I'm Sergei, I was made in Russia)

I love typewriters, and typewriters love me))
I wouldn't call myself a HUNTER - I just love typewriters, use them and collect some of them.
