Product description
This is the New American Typewriter No. 5, a striking piece of industrial history from the New American Mfg. Co. from Chicago. This specific model, presented in its original wooden case, represents an early and ingenious approach to mechanical writing, making it a fascinating object for collectors of early office technology.The typewriter is made of robust metal with a black finish, accented by refined gold-colored details on the base plate. The mechanism shows the characteristic linear indexing, a deviation from later standard keyboards. The whole is preserved in a fabric-covered wooden case, complete with an original brush marked 'Lambert Typewriter'. The case not only offers protection but also significantly adds to the historical context of the piece.The typewriter is in a condition consistent with its age, retaining its authentic character and patina. The original finishes and markings are still clearly legible, testifying to the quality of the original production.This historical object is an excellent addition to a study, library, or a collection of antique mechanics. It serves as a tangible reminder of the evolution of communication technology and adds a touch of industrial charm to any interior.
