AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
Visible mechanical typewriter, "Petite Super International" model, shown with the cover open. Its compact and angular design is typical of portable models produced in the 1970s. The front features a light beige finish, enhanced by a glossy black band with the golden inscription "Petite Super International". The black plastic AZERTY keyboard has domed keys adorned with white characters and French diacritics, illustrating a design intended for the French-speaking market.

The upper part reveals the typing mechanism and the highly legible, graduated scale, allowing for precise paper positioning. The well-spaced keys are arranged in straight rows, with a tab key and carriage return keys located on the right. The inner cover, also beige, shows molded instructions and a nameplate, with a visible reference: "158018".

The typewriter presents a sober and functional aesthetic, characteristic of portable models from the late 20th century. The geometric lines, neutral color, and golden lettering evoke the retro and utilitarian spirit of the era. No additional accessories or ribbon are visible in the image.

The key layout with accents, the presence of an AZERTY keyboard, and the absence of any apparent oxidation on the visible parts indicate a well-preserved object for its age. The cover appears to be perfectly articulated, with no cracks or deformation observable from this view.

Condition
Used item, sold as is. Some slight signs of wear may be present, consistent with the machine's age, but no major defects are visible on the exposed side. Functionality not tested from the photo alone.
