Description:
German QWERTZ keyboard
Ok condition. Paper support has come off. Basket a bit rusty. Needs a good clean
Keys covered in something (red ink? whiteout? horrific combination of both?)
Came with a leatherette case. Bottom of case contained loose typeing paper, tippex strips and a stubby eraser pencil. I think the machine was used a lot, well into the mid 2000s, based on some of the loose papers.
Will add photos once it's cleaned. And typeface specimen.
Pica typeface
Remember to add dimensions and weight later

Points: 4
I like typewriters AND rigourous recordkeeping. So I love the Typewriter database.
I currently own 5 typewriters, mostly by accident. I do not currently intend to buy more... but I also did not intend to get 5.
I like fixing them as well as writing on them.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Consul 231 2 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Consul Serial Number page and the Consul 231 2 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
