1988 was the last year of production for the Consul before the fall of Communism on Czechoslovakia. Production later resumed with the 2225 and continued until 1998.
"4.88" is written inside the ribbon cover, likely meaning April 1988.

I started collecting typewriters in 2006, but what started it all was using my mother's Brother Student-Riter XL1 in 2004. The next year I received my grandma's Smith-Corona Silent, which was enough to hold me over for a little while but eventually led to an obsession with manual portable typewriters.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Consul 2223 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Consul Serial Number page and the Consul 2223 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
