Harrods Burgundy Red Typewriter (Torpedo 17 From 1934)Seller's notes: "Lovely glossy burgundy red finish with pretty white glass keys. Overall it is in good condition- all the keys fire and the bell tings at the end of the line BUT the drawband is snapped see last photo. The case also red is in much worse condition with losses and fading but still functions as a protective case"
