SORRY, SOLD 1965 Princess 100 Typewriter

Just in time for Summer! This lovely Princess 100, from 1965, is in, what only can be described as, pristine condition. The beautiful dove-gray and ivory colour combination is soft and welcoming—as is the feel of the typing keys when using it. It has a new bi-colour ribbon and comes with its original case with key, the user manual and original factory typing test! This is the original colour and finish; it has not been repainted. This typewriter will be a wonderful writing tool for any serious poet, screenwriter, journalist, novelist or even the occasional letter-writer. It is an extraordinary writing instrument for an extraordinary person. It is a lovely combination of inspired mid-century industrial design and German engineering!
 
 
We have restored many dozens of these Princess typewriters over the years and I am always impressed by the overall high quality, mechanical design and the smoothness with which they operate.

This typewriter is working perfectly. It is has been carefully serviced and is 100% original in all its parts. The silver Princess logo is bright and shiny. All the chrome is in perfect condition. The keytops are in perfect condition. The painted finish only has the tiniest of scratches on the back side of the typewriter where it has two small bumpers to rest against the carrying case.

The lovely, original case is in excellent condition. The hasp works perfectly.  The interior lining is overall in excellent condition. The exterior of this lovely faux-leather case has no visible signs of wear and usage. The only blemish is a separation of the threads where the top of the case meets the front panel. This in no way affects the solidity or beauty of the case.
The typeface is a lovely Pica (10 cpi). The keyboard is QWERTY with extra letters and accents for European languages. The platen smooth and clean but a little harder than ideal, measuring around 94 on the hardness scale (85 to 95 being the best). However, as you can see from the typing sample, the impression is excellent.
