🛠️ CONDITION REPORT:
• Mechanical: Fully working condition. Keys strike cleanly and return properly. The carriage advances smoothly, the space bar works perfectly, and the margins adjust easily.
• Cosmetic: In beautiful vintage condition. The body shell is clean and sharp with minimal signs of age-related wear (please review the photos for exact cosmetic condition).
• Patina Note: Please note that on the very underside/bottom panel of the machine, there is a distinct line of vintage surface rust/patina (as shown in the photos). This is completely hidden when the typewriter is sitting normally on a desk or tucked into its case, but when turned over, it gives the machine a wonderfully honest, authentic weathered vintage character that collectors appreciate.
• Ribbon Spools: Please note, this machine does not come with an ink ribbon, but the original empty ribbon spools/holders ARE fully included and attached inside. This makes it incredibly easy for you to buy a standard "Universal Typewriter Ribbon" online (usually around £4–£6) and easily wind it onto the original spools.
