Supermetall KsT Typewriter 1961

THIS TYPEWRITER IS RESERVED FOR A COLLECTOR. PLEASE DO NOT CLICK ON BUY.
 
This lovely typewriter is a delight to type with and so gentle on the eyes. The KsT model, from Rheinmetall, marketed as Supermetall, is well known among typewriter enthusiasts as a wonderful typing machine. This one has a lovely light blue colour which, with the mid-century design, makes it a very stylish typewriter indeed. The typeface is compact with ~12 characters per inch. It comes with the original User Manual, brush and polishing cloth. It is a very well cared-for machine.
This is a fully-working typewriter; it has been fully refurbished by Acme. It comes with the "Acme" lead certification seal attached to the typewriter which permanently identifies it as a genuine, Acme-restored typewriter and provides for a one-year warranty. Our typewriters are an investment and the Acme Seal can add value in the event that you wish to sell this typewriter in the future. 
We guarantee safe delivery and provide careful and attentive after-purchase advice and assistance from the date of purchase to the end of eternity.
