Description:
This is a Courier probably from 1917. Essentially, it is an Oliver 3 made in Austria.
This machine clearly needs cleaning and some conservative restoration. the spacebar needs fixing as well.
Interestingly, the machine mostly works as is even before cleaning.

I started collecting my first pre-WW2 standard typewriters in 2017. Since then I have added a few machines to my collection, which now ranges from the 1890s to the 1980s. As of 2020, I have more big standard (desktop) typewriters than portables, and a few standard electrics.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Courier Standard on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Courier Serial Number page and the Courier Standard By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
