This was one of the early additions to the collection and the first of a number of similar machines built by Silver Seiko of Japan. The Silver-Reed Silverette is a neat portable typewriter in a pleasing black finish. The keys are all (apart from one which i assume must be a replacement) yellowed by something - hopefully just age!
The typewriter works pretty well. Its a basic typewriter without a colour selector or a number 1 key. It does have a bulletpoint key though and a few fractions.
