Free: Old Imperial Typewriter (Penrith CA11) Old Imperial 80 manual typewriter. Probably working condition. Rescued from a ship yard office closure over 20 years ago when it was a bit of a workhorse machine apparently. Stored in my parents' loft (for some strange reason!) so it has been boxed all this time. Not sure whether it is of any use for a prop or display. (Material strips are to stop carriage moving around only). [A second Imperial typewriter also available, but no photo yet].
