Description:
My second Facit TP2 this one in Facit's typical Viking-Gray. It have the less common brown and white leather case in my opinion. While typing it feels exactly like a Privat/1620 I bet it's the exact same machine but with another chassi. The TP2 is easily my favorite typewriter design from Facit. It's so classy looking especially my other TP2 with it's black leather case with red interior. Just to add some info. I believe the TP2 came only in two different colours, baby-blue (as I call it because I don't know the real name) and Viking-gray. From my knowledge the TP2 had two different sizes of carriages/platens it was equipped with. This one with the normal sized carriage/platen and one that is a bit wider.
This particular machine was in pretty good condition except for the type slug of 2/½ printed very off which can be seen in the typeface specimen but that is fixed to the point where I am not bothered anymore.
Well that is everything I have to say in this gallery, Cheers!

Hi my name is Kewin and I'm a 24 years old from Sweden. I have a few hobbies like drawing and playing guitar but I do also like myself some project here and there which is where my interest in typewriters fits in. I have always collected things through my life but I did not expect typewriters to be my next big passion in collecting. I started collecting typewriters in the beginning of 2022 and so far I have 80* of them (3 of which is currently disassembled) . I find it really enjoyable to pickup a typewriter at a thrift store/second hand and starting to clean it up and get it to a working condition to the best of my ability and knowledge. (Excuse all the dog hairs in my pictures, I do actually try to remove the hair before taking the pictures. xD) Cheers!
