Description:
Very good condition "desert sand" machine. It came with a "holiday case" in very good condition as well. Only a light cleaning was required.
Elite typeface.
The holiday case's particularity is that the typewriter support inside, which is pretty slick in the first place, can be removed, therefore converting the typewriter case in a regular suitcase for a (very) short holiday.

I started collecting my first pre-WW2 standard typewriters in 2017. Since then I have added a few machines to my collection, which now ranges from the 1880s to the 1980s. As of 2024, I have more big standard (desktop) typewriters than portables, a few standard electrics, and some unusual machines like Varitypers, uncommon IBM machines, and more. I am not a pro restorer, but I have restored a few of my machines beyond simple cleaning.
