Antique Oliver No. 3 Batwing Typewriter Serial 87346 W/ Case, Vintage
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:27497477 | Brand: Oliver |
| Features: With Case | Type: Manual |
Up for auction- this very old The Oliver Typewriter No 3. The serial number is 87346. It comes with it's cover that locks to the base.
I have never sold one of these before, so I am no expert on vintage typewriters. From what I can tell, based on the serial number, this was made in the early 1900’s.
I have not tried to clean it, oil it, or work on it in any way. I think this is a really cool vintage item that would be great for home decor. I suspect the typewriter could be re...paired but I have no knowledge of what that would take. I think at the very least this could be used for parts but I don’t see this as being a Parts item. I think it is one that could be restored or displayed as is. Now for the things that I can see are wrong: The keys do not push all the way down. They go about 1/3 of the way down. The space bar is chipped. There is overall light rust. It looks like it is missing the caps for the ribbon spools. The spacebar does not press down very far. The metal case is missing the handle and is bent. Please see pictures for more! Sold AS IS. From a Middle Tennessee Estate. Very very heavy. Will offer local pickup as well as shipping.
