From the late 1970s is this rather fine WH Smith branded typewriter, the Red Fox. It was actually made by Silver-Reed and is very similar to the Silver-Reed Silverette and SEVENTY typewriters which are also in the collection. One key difference is this typewriter is the red colour of course! The Red Fox works pretty well and has some rather tasteful grey keys.
If you are not UK based then you maybe have not heard of WH Smith before, they are a famous British newsagent and stationery store. They used to be one of the main places to go for office materials and hence selling their own typewriters was, as they say, probably a "no brainer". WH Smith also sold this same typewriter in grey (perhaps for companies who found a red office machine too garish), unfortunately our Grey Fox is rather broken but we will examine that in a future entry in the Showcase series.
