I can not say enough about this wonderful seller and this practically brand new 1947 typewriter with its practically brand new case. The packaging was done so perfectly I felt bad undoing it all to get to the typewriter. The parcel was insured with carefully printed “Fragile Please handle with Care” placed in a conspicuous place on the box. Needless to say, it arrived it great shape. This is a beautiful addition to my 1940s era room. I am well-pleased!
