    €320.00Price

    Having spent some time cowboying in Montana, I think this would make an excellent typewriter for a cowboy. It'll fit nicely in saddlebags. But the Montana name comes from its Italian roots. This terrific little Montana STL typewriter, from 1964, is a wonderfully portable typewriter but is a lovely addition to your desk or your shelf, as well. Montanas are based on the design for Hermes Baby typewriters. The mechanical design was licensed by Montana S.P.A. in Italy who manufactured them. They are supremely portable, weighing only around 8 lbs (4 kg). They are a very uncommon sort of typewriter. This particular Montana is not only a wonderfully hip/modern colour combination, it is in excellent condition, mechanically and cosmetically, and has been thoroughly cleaned, serviced, adjusted and aligned. This typewriter has its ORIGINAL two-tone colour--it has not been repainted. 

    It has been professionally serviced, aligned and adjusted, comes with a new ribbon and is ready to type!

    Acme typewriters have been the choice of discerning collectors and writers more than 1,000 times since we began selling online in 2016. They are fully guaranteed to work. Most shipments to the US arrive in 3 days--often much faster than most domestic shipments within the US. Acme typewriters are carefully selected, beautifully restored and come with a one-year mechanical warranty and lifetime customer-service. Each comes with a lead seal, attached to the body, identifying it as a fully-restored Acme typewriter. Many new dealers strive to imitate us--none succeed. 

    This is a typing machine that is ready to work for many good years of typing service. And with its brilliant Hermes mechanical design, it does that with reliability.

    Overall, this typewriter is in excellent condition. There are some almost no signs of use and wear on the body. The keys are clean and unmarked by use. 

    Mechanically, it is in superior working condition. The platen is smooth and clean. The rubber feeder rollers are in top condition, soft and clean. All mechanical devices and mechanisms have been checked and adjusted as necessary, and work as originally manufactured. 

    This typewriter has an original QWERTY keyboard with accent keys for European languages. The typeface is Elite with 11 characters to the inch.

    The travel case is in excellent condition. The handle is strong and the hasp works perfectly. The zipper is intact and works well.

    (Note to Interior Designers and Film Set Decorators (where colour is critical): Please note that this colour is a bright red or red/orange depending on the light. I have made every attempt to represent the precise hue of the typewriter but, as you know, that is quite difficult. If you would like other photos or to discuss the matter, please contact me.)

    This fine example of a Montana STL typewriter will be packed and shipped with the greatest care to preserve its condition and beauty. We have a lot of experience in shipping typewriters and have an excellent track record for proper packing and safe delivery. It will be fully insured for shipment.
