Description:
Made by Consul. An interesting machine with some premium features. I don't see these black knob covers on any of the others. These were barely hanging on. Other than some chrome flaking and an ink stain in the top cover, it turned out nice. No case.
I think these knobs were intended to protect it inside the case.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Forto Deluxe on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Forto Serial Number page and the Forto Deluxe By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
