Vintage Commodore portable typewriter (Made in Germany) with original hard carrying case — Tested & Working

Vintage Commodore portable typewriter in its original hard carrying case — tested and working. The machine carries the Commodore badge (Made in Germany) and a full QWERTY keyboard with a red/black ribbon installed. Warehouse inspection confirmed all keys move freely and the carriage, platen and return operate; photos show the keyboard, typebars and carriage, together with cosmetic wear and surface rust around the badge and case fittings.

This compact portable will suit collectors, retro-styled home or office displays, writers who prefer a mechanical experience, prop departments and restoration projects. It is a ready display piece that also responds to mechanical use — a good candidate for light typing straight away or a deeper service and cosmetic refresh to return it to daily use.
