Condition Report
This typewriter is in excellent vintage cosmetic and operational condition. The glass-less green keycaps are immaculate with crisp lettering. Mechanical typing arms, shift mechanisms, and the carriage return lever actuate smoothly. Interior type segments are remarkably clean with no gunky buildup. The crinkle finish shows virtually no wear or paint chips. The tweed case is sturdy and latches securely, showing only light exterior age-toning and scuffing to the fabric corners.
