Description from the seller

Folding Corona typewriter, QWERTY keyboard with @, round keys with white background and metal edging, arranged on three rows. On the right is the carriage return key. It should date back to the 1920s. It shows signs of use, and the paint over the years has undergone some touch-ups. The carriage, levers and key movement, and the color-change function are working; no typing test has been performed, and small parts may be missing.

A beautiful collectible piece. Ideal as a gift, a display item and a furnishing piece, it looks great at home, in professional studios, or in shop windows. It can also be used in interior design, theaters, or staged productions.

SELLING CONDITIONS: in-person pickup is preferred (Italy, Puglia) to test the condition and operation. The item is available for experts designated by the buyer who may verify its condition before shipping. If shipped, the item travels at the buyer's expense and risk; no warranty is provided, it is sold as seen, in the state it is in, as shown in the photos which constitute an integral part of the description, with no possibility of return.
Shipped to the entire European Community; all shipping costs, for example, any insurance (upon request), customs duties, administrative documentation, authorizations whatever they may be called, expert appraisals, etc. are borne by the buyer.
