This Typewriter is in tact, however it can do with done adjustments. The lower case and upper case letters dont lineup. The keys and carriage work fairly smooth considering its age.
Cosmetically, this unit offers a rustic vintage look with some rust and patina, and even paint marks. However, this could be resorted to its former glory if someone took the time to do it. The Typewriter is very sturdy and mostly made of metal, weighing just over 4.1 kg.
