Description:
Antares Compact 19 portable typewriter from the 1960s (1960-1964) in a beautiful fiery red color. Manufactured in Milan by the Italian company Pozzi SpA.
Pica Font. German keyboard, tablature. Two-color 13mm ribbon.
All sealed with original lid for transport and storage in brown color.
There is no serial number on the machine. Most likely it was in the form of a sticker that was peeled off.
I found a sticker that may be from this machine, but the serial numbers of Antares machines look a little different (last photo).
Update: Machine sold in 06.2024.

I live in Poland. My hobby is restoring analog devices to life. I do all the work, from cleaning, through mechanical repairs, to possible painting, by myself. I learn a lot from it. The love for typewriters began with Hermes 3000, which I received in 2022 from my sister as a gift. And so the collection is slowly growing...
