Here we have a Blickensderfer typewriter and according to it’s serial number 193069, it was manufactured around 1916.  On the nameplate it states ‘THE SERVICE BLICK, 9 & 10 CHEAPSIDE, LONDON, MADE IN USA.

 

As you’ll see from the photo’s the typewriter is in reasonably good condition given its over 100 years old and even includes its original timber case which is complete with its leather carry handle.

 

The mechanism appears to work satisfactorily, in that the type spool rotates to the correct letter when a key is depressed and moves down onto the carriage but I haven’t tried it with paper as I am unsure how it inks the spool.  However, the caps and figure shift doesn’t work but hopefully some careful fettling and oiling should cure this, but please bear this in mind when bidding.

 

Also please note that the cover on the key in the middle row on the far right is missing together with its bezel, however this does not affect its operation

 

Bought as seen and described.

 

Item can be collected in person from my home in North London.

 

I am only prepared to offer this item to buyers from the UK and Europe as it weighs nearly 6 Kg and is therefore prohibitively too expensive to post Internationally.

 

Yet again, eBay have been playing around with their postage options and are trying to force their sellers to use their own system.  They leave very few alternative options so I've stated alternative courier for UK which is actually Parcelforce and I have included basic postal insurance cover of £300.  Similarly, I'd also use Parcelforce for Europe with the same £300 insurance cover and NOT  Royal Mail with no cover, as listed, this was the only option other than eBay's own!  Finally, please note, if the item sells for more than £300, it will be up to the purchaser to pay for any additional cover they may want.

 

Please see my other Ebay items.

 

All the best and happy bidding.
