This typewriter has been professionally cleaned, serviced, adjusted and tested.It is in working order and is fitted with a new ribbon so its all ready for you to start typing on.We also include a photo copy of a Remington  Portable instruction manual.

New typewriter ribbons can be purchased from us and cost £5.95 including  postage.You can purchase any manual typewriter ribbon for this machine and rewind the new ribbon onto its original metal spools.We have plain black or other plain colour options available.

The typewriter measures 25 cm wide by 28 cm deep and 10 cm high.The enamel  paintwork is in a good original condition with just a few marks and signs of small touch ups and signs of fading in some areas.The typewriter  comes with a covered wooden case which is a good condition for its age.It has lost its original handle so we have fashioned a new leather one.The latch to close is sound and works well.

This is a fabulous looking 1930's vintage portable typewriter and it would make a wonderful display item as well as being ready to take out of the box and start typing on.

"My Olivetti arrived a couple days ago. Got a chance to test it out and it works like a dream (you wouldn’t guess it was nearly half a century old). Thank you for including the original metal spools, it adds a great touch to the machine. Looking forward to adding another typewriter to the collection sometime soon..." - Jake
