Iconic Ruby Red Valentine Typewriter by Olivetti.

Designed in 1969 by Ettore Sottsass and Perry A. King, an icon of Italian design.

The Valentine was the first typewriter built entirely in plastic. The model's main feature was its portability and the integration of the object within its own case; the backside of the machine itself could close the machine, which included an handle. 

The item is in very good working condition and is mechanically sound. The current paint ribbon is empty and will need to be replaced (these are available online).  

There's light scratches and some small marks here and there all consistent with age and use.

Size about 35cm L x 33cm W x 11cm H

Weight about 5kg

Will ship with full insurance up to the value of the item.
