Torpedo Athena Typewriter 1972

Here is a typewriter that, I must admit, I have overlooked through the years. It is the Athena from Torpedo. This a quite a handsome, metal-bodied typewriter with many mechanism coming directly from the Hermes Baby/Rocket. It has a wonderful sleek look that seems modern even by today's standards.
It types with a similar feeling to the Hermes (for obvious mechanical reasons), sits nicely under your fingertips and has a great look. I don't know why I missed this model in the past, but I am glad that I have found it now. I suspect that very few of these were made and we can only guess at why that was.
About Acme (more about the typewriter below):
Acme typewriters have been the choice of discerning collectors and writers more than 1,000 times since we began selling internationally in 2016. We safely ship your typewriter from our gallery in the Netherlands and delivery time to the US averages only 3 days—this is a quicker delivery time even than most domestic shipments within the US!  Acme typewriters are guaranteed to arrive safely at your door, are covered by a 1-year warranty, and come with lifetime customer-care. 
With an ACME Typewriter, you know you are getting a fully-working--as original--typewriter. The only thing that you have to do is sit down, put paper on the roller and start typing. Your typewriter comes with the "Acme" lead certification seal which permanently identifies it as a genuine Acme-restored typewriter and provides for a one-year warranty at no charge. In terms of an investment, the Acme Seal proves that this machine was restored in 2023 by the Acme Type Machine Company. This can add value in the event that you wish to sell this typewriter in the future.
This typewriter has been fully restored: cleaned, adjusted, lubricated and aligned. It comes with a full mechanical guarantee. The body finish is in really excellent condition, with the exception of a few very light scratches on the lower right side of the body where the ccase/cover must have rubbed it a little. The chrome is perfect and everything about the typewriter speaks of very little use and excellent care when it was used.
The Platen Roller is clean and smooth and takes the imprint well (see sample). The Paper Feeder Rollers are new-like and soft. The feet are soft and grip the desktop well. 
The typeface is a lovely Pica with 10 characters to the inch (see photo). The keyboard is standard QWERTY with extra keys for European languages. It comes, of course, with a new ribbon so you can start typing immediately.
The case/cover is in top condition with almost no signs of age or wear.
