The keys seem to be tropicalized or discolored due to the tropical heat of the Philippines? And on top of this, the label at the back, where the serial number and other details would have been, has been removed.

I'm an archaeologist who writes heritage books and collects Japanese ceramics as well as quite a number of typewriters that I've acquired through purchase or as gifts over the last 10 years in the Philippines as well as in the US and Japan.
I'm currently a visiting professor at a university in Japan and it is heaven here to see so many typewriters being auctioned online!
