Urania Portable Typewriter (QWERTZ keyboard)
Description/Details: A rare and sought after collectors piece. This first year production machine is curvy and stylish!
A functional original old world machine perfect for any collector or decor enthusiast. It works but lacks some simplicity and reliability to its design you would want in an every day typewriter.
