Antares Annabella - Typewriter - 1960-1970

“Antares Annabella – c. 1960 – Made in Italy – Original Case”

Antares Annabella – Vintage Italian typewriter with original leather case
A very special Italian design object from the 1960s.

Serial number: D 044626-5069.

Up for auction: a stunning Antares Annabella vintage typewriter, manufactured in Italy. A particularly exemplary piece with the characteristic red-cream color scheme, black keys, and the original matching leather carrying case.

The typewriter is fully functional. All mechanical functions work as they should: the keys, carriage, ribbon mechanism, and other controls are operational. The machine is thus not only a beautiful collectible, but can also be used in practice.

Original ink ribbon
The original ink ribbon is included with the typewriter. Over time it has dried out and is no longer usable in its current state. Given the age of the machine this is not unusual. A replacement ink ribbon/ribbon has, however, been installed (red/black). This demonstrates the machine’s operation. See the last photo.

Original leather case – exceptionally beautiful condition
One of the major advantages of this specimen is the original leather carrying case.
The case is in nearly perfect condition. The leather remains beautifully supple and shows no drying, cracking, or damage. The handle, clasp, and other components of the case are in particularly nice, authentic condition.
The combination of the well-preserved typewriter with this exceptionally beautiful original case makes this a complete and highly attractive collectible object.

Condition
The typewriter is in very nice vintage condition and is fully functional. There are only normal, light signs of age consistent with an object of this age. See attached photos. The original look and patina have been preserved. The case is strikingly well preserved and is in nearly perfect condition.
