Antique WW1 Era 1917 Portable Corona Typewriter
Corona folding portable typewriter, one of the most iconic and collectible early portable typewriters ever produced. Designed to fold flat into its case, this revolutionary model was famously used by journalists, war correspondents and writers during World War I.
Finished in classic black with round glass keys and yellow lettering, this example displays the unmistakable CORONA branding and retains its original folding frame, carriage and exposed type basket — a hallmark of early Corona design.
Ideal for:
• Antique typewriter collectors
• Period film & theatre props
• Writers’ studios, libraries or shop displays
• WWI-era memorabilia collections
A superb and evocative survivor from the golden age of mechanical writing machines.
Please see photos for condition as they form part of the condition. There is wear commensurate with age and use. Also comes with its original storage lid to case but not the base of the case. Has an original Union Castle ship luggage label to lid.
Keys move freely but would benefit from a proper service if intending to use
