Vintage Silver Reed SR 280 De Luxe Typewriter – 1970s All-Metal Cream Japanese Writer

The Precision Engineering of Silver Seiko
Experience the smooth, Japanese-engineered precision of the Silver Reed SR 280 De Luxe. A direct competitor to the famous Brother models of the 1970s, the Silver Reed is often favored by writers who prefer a lighter, faster key stroke and a minimalist "low-profile" aesthetic.

Condition Report:

• Aesthetics: Classic 70s cream finish in great condition. The all-metal body feels incredibly sturdy and premium compared to later plastic models.
• Mechanics: Fully functional with a crisp, clear typeface. Features include a tabulator, margin release, and a 2-color ribbon selector (Black/Red).
• Case: Comes with its original black "snap-on" hard plastic lid which integrates perfectly with the base for a secure, easy-to-carry package.
• Ribbon: Includes a vintage ribbon that is currently light. This machine uses a standard 1/2-inch "Group 9" ribbon, widely available and easy to replace for that deep, professional ink look.
