Description:
Bought from a man whose father was a sailor who used this on the boat he worked on. Was originally bought in America and modified in Norway to have Norwegian keys. It was clearly used a whole lot judging from the wear on the keys. Ink on the ribbon in the machine still has some life left in it! Well preserved under the original case lid.

I am a Norwegian fellow who enjoys tinkering and fixing up typewriters. One day I decided I wanted a typewriter to write letters on. I bought one that turned out not to work. I got annoyed and decided I should be able to figure out what was wrong and fix it. I did it, but the rush of successfully mending such an intricate machine was like a drug. I wanted more. I decided I would try to buy non-functioning, but pretty machines, fix them and sell them before repeating the process. What I didn't expect was that I would fall in love with the machines I fix so now I suddenly find myself a bit of a collector.
