FOR SALE | Tiffany Blue Typewriter for Weddings

I have another super chic typewriter for sale today! As you know, I just love seeing them featured in weddings - they're perfect for writing love notes (and adding a smooch like I did in this shoot!); serving as guestbooks; or creating a fun kids station.) Today, I'm sharing one of my favorites that I scooped up while antiquing in my favorite country in the world - Fraaaance. The heart-melting shade of Tiffany blue was calling to me as soon as my eyes found it at the French market!

About the typewriter:

This is a gorgeous Smith-Corona portable typewriter dating back to around the 1960s. The painted metal casing is a delightful shade of blue, as you can see! The typewriter comes with its original hard carrying cover/case (shown below) and has a cute handle that makes transporting a cinch. 

This deliciously retro typewriter is in excellent vintage condition and has no chips or cracks. The only visible wear is a few small scuff marks on the carrying case from use but overall, it is in superb condition. All keys are working but a few are sticking a bit - I think after a little bit of use they would work just fine.  The typewriter measures approximately 12" x 11" x 3".

Note: Because this is a European typewriter, the keys are in a different layout than American typewriters. However, all keys are fully functioning. Also, the typewriter ribbon has dried out a little bit so it will probably need to be replaced with a fresh universal ribbon to produce crisp letters. The current ribbon is still working but the ink is slowly fading.

Price: $248.00 + shipping
If you're interested in the typewriter and would like to request a shipping quote (or have any questions!), just message me your zip code at theclassicbride@gmail.com!

FOR SALE | Classic Black (Tie) Typewriter for Weddings

I have another super chic typewriter for sale today! As you know, I just love seeing them featured in weddings (they're perfect for writing love notes; serving as guestbooks; or creating a fun kids station.) Today I'm sharing one of my favorites that I scooped up while antiquing in Germany. The black and white glossy keys scream black tie to me but it would work equally well at almost any wedding as the classic color combo translates easily.

I found that little piece of paper w/Eva's info as I was taking the typewriter out of its carrying case!

About the typewriter:

This is a gorgeous German Triumph Norm-6 Typewriter which features the beautiful blue Triumph shield on the upper-right corner. The shiny glass +chrome keys are in perfect condition. On the front of the typewriter just below the space bar it reads "Triumph Werke Nurnberg A.G. Nurnberg. It also has a small plaque above the number keys reading "Leo Goertz | Saarlautern | Telefon 2978." I believe the plaque was put on by the shop which sold the typewriter. And the slip of paper shown in the photo above contains the info of the person I believe owned the typewriter - talk about history - this little machine has it! I was told by the vendor that the typewriter dates back to the mid-1930s. The serial number is 182188.

This deliciously retro typewriter is in excellent vintage condition and has no chips or cracks. The painted metal casing is a shiny black and is in pristine condition with the exception of a little rusting in the very front (seen in photos).  All keys are working but a few are sticking a bit - I think after a little bit of use they would work just fine. The return bell lets out the most delightful ring. The typewriter comes with its original hard carrying cover/case (which shows a little wear) and has a cute leather handle that makes transporting a cinch. The typewriter measures approximately 10.5" wide x 12.5" deep x 4.5" high.

Note: Because this is a German typewriter, the keys are in a different layout than American typewriters (called QWERTZ rather than QWERTY). However, all keys are fully functioning. Also, the typewriter ribbon has dried out a little bit so it will probably need to be replaced with a fresh universal ribbon to produce crisp letters. The current ribbon is still working but the ink is slowly fading.

Price: $248.00 + shipping
If you're interested in the typewriter and would like to request a shipping quote (or have any questions!), just message me your zip code at theclassicbride@gmail.com! First come, first serve.
