Description:
Japanese "drum-type" typewriter manufactured by Toshiba in the 1960s-70s. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. There seems to be something holding the keys from typing any text, whether in romaji, kanji, hiragana or katakana.

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!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Toshiba BW-113 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Toshiba Serial Number page and the Toshiba BW-113 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
