Description:
Name: "Laura"
Purchased on September 9th, 2026, along with a few additional parts machines.
10cpi Pica typeface. Manufactured in Spain.
In working condition, with only minor cleaning needed. The escapement seems not to engage properly on two particular keys (as you can see in the type sample above the capital Q; the other key being the ` symbol key)
It did come with the case; however, the zipper pulls are missing.
If anyone has any insight into the year of manufacture of this typewriter, let me know. I see some existing serial numbers that are close that appear in 1964, but I don't know if that is accurate or not.
