Beginning the Showcase of my typewriter collection. A monthly feature where one of the typewriters in the collection is... well, showcased!
We will start with the Silver-Reed SEVENTY, this typewriter is similar to a few others i have got, including my Silver-Reed Silverette. It is a nice compact little portable typewriter that is in remarkable condition. When i first received it i thought it was brand new! It was only after a closer inspection that i could see there was a little wear and tear here and there, though not much. The typewriter looks like it has not been used much or, if it has it has, it has been very well cared for.
It types pretty well, a couple of keys on the fringes are a bit awkward but that might just require a little correction. It only types in one colour (black).
