Description:
This ultra-portable is a nice typer despite lacking some of the features - like a tabulator - found in the lager "portables" of the day. But then this machine is so small and (relatively) lightweight that it could fit easily in a backpack or on an airplane tray table. This 1972 edition has an attractive dark brown faux leather treatment applied to the front and top of the ribbon cover.
