AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent Hammond No. 12 typewriter, an iconic model produced in the United States by the Hammond Typewriter Company of New York in the early 1900s.
The Hammond is one of the most revolutionary machines in history: instead of the classic type hammers, it uses an interchangeable shuttle system (Hammond Shuttle), which allowed changing font and language. A patent by James B. Hammond from 1880, much loved by collectors for its high-quality exposed mechanism.
This specimen is complete with its original solid wood base with a metal badge and a front plate in yellow celluloid reading "No Hammond 12 - Made in U.S.A." perfectly legible.
The machine is sold as a decorative display item as it is not functional (some essential parts for its operation are missing). But it remains a beautiful and interesting decorative piece to add to any type of decor, as shown by some illustrated examples in the images.
