Description:
A marvellous antique typewriter in tin and oak case with a great decal proclaiming the trade name "The Empire"
Patents are listed for Canada, Great Britain, Victoria and New South Wales in 1892. Amazingly this 100 year plus machine still types (haltingly and faintly) Not really a candidate for daily typing, I have no idea where you would find a ribbon close to 1" wide.

Significant finish wear, particularly on the space bar and also the tin case, the machine will need further detailing.

Case closed: 14" x 13" x 6".
Carrying weight: 20 pounds

Maker's Marks:
The Empire, Made in Canada.
