Halda typewriters are all metal and beautifully engineered machines giving you a great typing performance. This one has the standard elite sized type face of 11 letters or characters to the inch and has a £ key as well as a $ key and a couple of accented keys.
This machine is in a wonderful condition with just some small signs of discolouration in places to the green "crackle " finish metal paintwork It has the lovely Halda logo at the front and the original selling agents logo on the side. The spools have a particular design and you would need to just rewind new ribbon onto these spools when required.
New typewriter ribbons can be purchased from us when required priced from £8.95 including postage and are available in black or red/black ( no spools- just ribbon for rewinding) or we have a range of other colour options on Universal spools which you can take off the spools and rewind onto the special Halda metal spools.

The typewriter measures 30 cm by 27 cm by 12 cm high and comes with it's original dark green carry case. The typewriter locks into the base board and the cover clips down over the top. The fastening and handle both work well. There is some signs of wear to the covering of the case but it is in a very functional condition.
