SORRY, SOLD! 1960 Torpedo Model 18B, original two-tone Typewriter

We are pleased to offer this exceptionally fine 1960, two-tone Torpedo Model 18B typewriter with all-original colouring (it has NOT been repainted). The "18B" is the top-of-the-line Model 18 and includes a tabulator system. This typewriter is in, essentially, perfect condition and is working like new. The cosmetic condition is as you see in the photos. Gorgeous!  The chrome is in perfect condition.
The platen has been replaced with new rubber and the feeder rollers are correctly soft and grip the paper well. The feet are original but have the same softness as when they were new. They are strong and grip the desk well.
The typeface is a gorgeous and elegant Congress Pica (10 characters to the inch) and the keyboard is QWERTY and has keys for European languages. It has a new ribbon on two original metal ribbon spools. 
It comes with the original case (with original key) which is in excellent condition with no staining on the insides (as is common) and only the tiniest nicks and bumps on the exterior. The chrome on the handle is shiny and bright. The case comes with the original key.
This is a particularly fine example of this famous typewriter. There are reasons why the Model 18 is one of the most coveted of typewriters. It is marvelous looking on your desk and a dream to type on. This machine is a solid work-horse and the typing action is wonderfully fast and solid. Collectors and users alike sing the praises of the Model 18 typewriter. The Model 18 proved to be such a popular model typewriter, in so many ways, that it was produced under various brands, including Torpedo and Remington, and sold throughout the world.
