Showcase (7) : Litton Imperial 200

This typewriter joined the collection Summer 2022. In a rather fetching eggshell blue, this Litton Imperial 200 needed a few minor repairs to get going, a few things including the bar which holds the paper down were a bit bent. It types reasonably well though there is room for improvement. The typewriter had a string tied to it's feet which indicates it may have been hung up on the wall as some kind of trendy retro interior decor. What?!

The typewriter was probably built in the early 1970s. The variation in key discolouration (not unique to this typewriter) is something i always find quite fascinating.
