SORRY, SOLD! 1955 Alpina N24 Typewriter

What a wonderful mid-century design! We are pleased to offer this wonderful green Alpina typewriter in superb condition. This is an very fine Alpina of an N24 model from 1955, considered by many to be a masterpiece of design, both mechanical and aesthetic. This typewriter has been fully restored and conserved to our highest standards. This is the original colour and finish; it has not been repainted. The coloured finish is uniform and almost entirely unblemished. This typewriter is truly a "statement" on the desk of any serious screenwriter, journalist, novelist or even the occasional letter-writer.
Alpina typewriters are very soft, swift and solid typers. It is simply a joy to type with them. And the carriage movement—and everything else—is as smooth as silk.
In excellent cosmetic condition and working perfectly. (Note: in some photos it may appear that there is discolouration or fading on the ribbon cover. This is not the reality; it is a reflection from the ceiling.) The keytops are unscratched and the platen is clean, smooth and has an ideal hardness measurement of ~92 (between 85 and 95 is considered ideal). The paper feed rollers and the rubber feet are in excellent condition.
The typeface is Pica, 10 cpi. The keyboard is QWERTY with additional keys for European languages.  It comes with a new ribbon so you can start typing immediately.
This typewriter comes with its original hard case which is in excellent condition. 
Mechanically it is in perfect working condition. It has clearly been well-maintained during its previous working life. It has been fully cleaned, adjusted, aligned and lubricated for years of future use.
