This is an absolutely stunning typewriter! It is in excellent condition, and the sellers included a Tolkien quote and a cute typewriter pin! It comes with an instruction manual, which was helpful as this is my first typewriter.
The shipping to the USA took approximately 1.5 months longer than predicted. I don't blame the sellers for this, as they posted the typewriter in the post VERY quickly. The wait was worth it. Fortunately this typewriter just for personal use - if purchased as a gift, buy VERY early.
The only bummer was the installed typewriter ribbon being almost completely dried out - I purchased a new typewriter ribbon today but am sad that I can't use my typewriter until it arrives.
The sellers are AMAZING. They have been very helpful and kind. This is the only shop I'd consider for purchasing a typewriter.
This typewriter is a gem! I love using it and learning more about it all the time. Using it is like dancing with it- a physical, sensory interaction. Just dreamy!
The typewriter looks brand new and it works perfectly. El Granero did a fantastic refurbishing job, it matched the description that was given. It meets all of my expectations and if I were to purchase another typewriter I would purchase it from El Granero. And it was packaged well for the long journey from Spain to California, USA.
I purchased this as a Father's Day, and he is totally in LOVE with it. He loves the attention to detail, the perfect, smooth and shiny black paint which makes it so eye-catching, and the impeccable packaging it came in. It's the perfect weight for him, not too heavy, but rather light yet sturdy. He looks forward to getting to work on it right away!
