Corona Clipper Portable Typewriter No. 4C-116653 E (purchased 05/13/46)

Description

This Corona Clipper Portable Typewriter No. 4C-116653 E was originally purchased on 05/13/46 and is still in it's original black box case (no key for lock) and has the original Instruction booklet and invoice from where it was purchased in Augusta GA. Condition of Case and Typewriter is Fair, and typewriter appears to work as supposed to. When you open the case you can smell that "Old" musty or old closet type smell of something this old. Reminds me of the smell of a very old suitcase. To me, adds to the vintage of the whole item. To you, maybe a dislike. I think it could use a little blowing out and cleaning up, and with a new ribbon, you would probably be ready to type away. Although the case has a normal wear, typewriter seems to be in good condition. With the ribbon in it, you could probably start typing right away. Even has a one page insert that is an "Exercise Sheet" for learning to type.....NOTE... This is being sold AS-IS as a collector's item and I would not be expecting any return of this item. Be sure it is what you want to buy. Considering it will come with original invoice and How to booklet, It should be a real showcase item for the right collector. The price includes the shipping cost and will ship within 2 business days of purchase/payment. Again, no return on this item as it is too much freight cost involved.
