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.

Lawyer and recently acknowledged typewriter addict. It all started with an IBM Personal Typewriter, followed by a Smith-Corona Galaxie Deluxe, an Adler Universal 20, and then, well, you know the rest.
