The original Brother portable typewriter was introduced in Japan in 1961, and became an almost immediate success.   A product of Brother Industries, well-known for the manufacture of sewing machines, Brother typewriters were always known for being a cut above the quality of the other two rival Japanese makes.  These machiones were exported all over the world, and often sold under a variety of other names.  The basic design remained largely unchanged until well into the 1980's.

The Brother has a keyboard touch control, a margin release key that also functions as typebar un-jammer for when you clash two typebars, and a pop-up paper rest.  The generous keyboard contains 43 characters plus their shifted equivalents.

This particular machine is in excellent condition, and has been professionally re-coloured to a glorious Bright Red.  It has been fully serviced and recommisioned ready to give many more years of reliable service.  Unlike many other vintage typewriters,  it takes a readily-available ribbon that is still in current production and available in a variety of colours.
