Description:
Spring Green, resembles Avocado. A Goodwill grab at $36, it needs some dust removal and a new ribbon. It has No. 66 Elite Typeface, 12 cpi. Metal ink spools are intact with a completely dry ribbon. Although the case handle is missing, someone cared enough to install a rope handle with a couple bolts. Typeface sample will be updated after cleaning.
