Description:
Originally cream with a beige bottom and brown keys. Looked for a date code but was unable to find it on the bottom or on the frame.
Have not been able to find ANY other typewriters like this one. The closest was the Deville Cartridge I.
It is missing the "1" and "!" key. There is a sticker stating it was made in Singapore and one article I found said SMC starting manufacturing in Singapore in 1985. I do not know if this is accurate or not.
However, with it missing the 1 and ! makes me wonder if this info is accurate or not???
Was painted for personal taste. Forgot to take images before the color was changed.
