Description:
Iconically sexy for a typewriter, some are left with the cold shoulder with the typing feel, yet others bask in the glory. Who knows why they are so fickle in sage green? This is a first-generation model, made in Switzerland. This one still works as new, and has a Techno typeface. It also has survived with both brushes and original book.
