This is an unusally beautiful piece of history and except for 2 sticky keys -- the 1/2, 1/4 and ;, ^ (i.e., one half and <Shift to> one quarter, and the semicolon and <shift to> carat. It types letters just as it should -- hopefully you can see them on the page. (They are faint because the ribbon is old.) All the functions work on the typewriter (carriage return, margins, etc.) I have no doubt it could use a good cleaning/oiling, which should take care of the 2 sticky keys. As you can see, the typewriter body, glass keys, etc. are in superb condition.
The case has seen better days but it closes and holds the typewriter in place, as it should. The 2 latches work but could use oiling. I do not have a key to lock the case. Measurements for the case are shown in the photos, and photos of each side, top and bottom are shown.
It will be shipped in an oversize package with plenty of foam pool noodles to surround it to protect it during shipping.
