Description from the seller

Smith-Corona portable typewriter – 1950s – fully functional – with original carrying case

Wonderful portable typewriter from the famous American brand Smith-Corona, distributed in Europe under the name “Naburo”. This model, dating from the 1950s, perfectly exemplifies post-war industrial design, at once elegant and sturdy.
It stands out for its brown-gray finish and its green, rounded keys, as well as its AZERTY keyboard tailored for the French-speaking market.

The machine is fully functional. The keys respond properly, the mechanism is smooth and ready for use. A perfectly usable piece, which is increasingly rare for this type of antique item.

Very good overall condition for its age. The machine is clean and complete, with light signs of normal wear from age.
The original suitcase is included; it shows more pronounced signs of wear (external wear, signs of aging), but it remains sturdy and functional for transport and storage.

The total weight is 7.8 kg (including the suitcase)
It is recommended that you come to the location to pick up the parcel.

The price of shipments outside Europe will be significant.
