A Vintage Typewriter

English QWERTY keyboard w/Pound currency symbol

Serial No.: 4479774 (The 1964 year of manufacture determination is based on data from the Adler Typewriter Serial Numbers page at TypewriterDatabase[dot]com.)

Keyboard: English QWERTY - With British Pound currency symbol

Typeface: Pica 2.3 mm. (~11 characters per inch)

Footprint: About 12 inches square. The height (with the lid attached) is 3 inches.

Weight: 9 pounds 15 ounces (with lid)

Condition: Good inside and out. The two-tone gray colors are original; they have not been painted over or touched up. There are spots of slight discoloring on the shell and the lid. (See the provided pictures.) The plastic lid—which attaches easily and securely—is also in good condition. Although it is common for the corners of the plastic shell and the plastic lid of these 1960s typewriters to exhibit cracks, there are no cracks on this machine's shell or lid.

This typewriter could be put to immediate everyday use. It types well, with the keys moving smoothly and freely. Also included is a new black ribbon and a copy (not the original) of the Adler Tippa S Instruction Handbook. A portable, it is easy to carry by the handle on its lid. It fits nicely just about anywhere a laptop computer does!

All-in-all, this is a very nice, fully functional, 59-year-old typewriter.

Please note that I am painfully aware of the damage risks entailed when shipping a typewriter. I strive to ensure that your 'new' typewriter arrives at your doorstep in the same condition it leaves mine.
