CONDITION
This typewriter is in good condition commensurate with age and use. Mechanically, it works well and I have cleaned it up and fixed minor issues so that it is ready for the next 60s years.
Maintenance performed:
* Thorough cleaning of the typewriter inside and out
* Loosened/fixed sticky keys
* Basic functionality and typing tests
Cosmetic condition:
* The typewriter has some nicks and blemishes in the painted exterior. There are some chips in the paint which reveal the metal below.
* There are some blue-ish purple stains on the body - these seem to be from ink. I tried to remove them, but wasn't able to without hurting the finish.
* There was a little bit of rusting around the key hammers. I cleaned it up quite a bit and you can't really see it anymore.
* The case has a large dent on the top of the lid. It's as if something heavy was dropped on it. It must have done its job well, because the typewriter itself doesn't appear to have any damage.
* The case has typical exterior wear.
* There is NO obvious odor from the machine or the case.
Mechanical condition:
* The keys work fairly well, a couple of the keys have very light sticking, ocassionnally. Overall, it types smoothly!
* All functionality works as expected.
RIBBON
The typewriter came with a black / red ribbon that is still useable. The ink is a little light, but it is still legible. The ribbon spools are metal.
This typewriter uses the Universal Ribbon size, if you'd like to order a fresh ribbon.
I typically ship via USPS, but due to the weight and size of this item, I may ship with FedEx or UPS.
Whether you intend to use this for writing or as decor, this typewriter will add a lovely dash of color wherever it goes!

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I refuse or fail to collect my package?
If a package is "Returned to Sender", meaning:
* Package was not picked up and the postal service sends it back after the pick-up window ends
* Package was refused by purchaser, including, but not limited to, situations where purchaser does not want to pay additional taxes or duties owed
I will provide a refund MINUS the original shipping fees and a restocking fee of 10% of the purchase price, once the item has been returned to me and is in undamaged condition.
If a purchaser refuses delivery of a package or fails to collect it, I reserve the right to not sell to them in the future.
What happens if my package is lost, stolen, or missing?
The Etsy shipping confirmation email contains the package tracking number. The buyer assumes responsibility for tracking the package and ensuring a safe and secure delivery location.
If you would like to have your order shipped with a signature confirmation (at an additional cost), please contact me PRIOR to purchase!
In the case of suspected theft, the buyer should file a stolen property report with their local law enforcement agency and submit a suspected mail theft report to USPS.
Insurance does not cover lost, stolen, or missing boxes after they have been delivered by the package carrier. Once a package has been marked as delivered by the carrier, I can no longer be responsible for it nor provide a refund if it has been stolen.
What happens if my items arrive broken or damaged?
I do my best to pack items safely and securely, but damage during transit does happen occasionally.
If your package arrives with obvious damage to the packaging...
* photograph the package prior to opening
* save the packaging
If there is damage to any of the items you receive...
* photograph any damage
* contact me immediately (or within 5 days of delivery) to describe the damage and provide photographs
* save all damaged items and packaging (you may need to send it back to me or to the insurance provider)
* respond to me promptly if I need any additional information for the processing the insurance claim
I provide a full or partial refund (depending on the extent of the damage) after you've provided the info necessary for insurance.
What happens if I don't want to pay additional taxes or duties when I receive the package?
With any international purchase, there is always the chance that additional taxes and duties will be owed by the purchaser before they can receive their package. The specifics vary widely by country and province. It is the responsibility of the buyer to pay for any additional costs.
