thanks everyone for the comments! I’m not sure I can take it apart – I’m getting attached, LOL – but, I don’t think it would be worth too much as-is since it’s completely non-functional. Still…it looks so cool…I could use it as a decoration in my studio (not that I have one yet, but fingers crossed, we can get our junky shed fixed up at some point).

I have a typewriter like that but it’s in working condition – just needs a ribbon. Where I’ll ever find one is beyond me but yeah, I LOVE old typewriters – and jewelry made from the keys. how fun!

You are soooo lucky! I forget what the stampy part is called but I have seen them selling on etsy. So, don’t toss them once it is apart. Someone’ll buy it for assemblage

What a beautiful machine! I’m afraid I would not be able to take it apart.

oh that’s a really interesting looking one! Don’t take it apart – it’s amazing…maybe it’s worth more whole?

Wow. Very cool. I would display if for awhile too in all of its glory.

COOL! I found one (not quite as old) for $5 at a garage sale and it’s a decoration in our dining room (under the oldies black and white family photo collection)—don’t tell Lisa (LUV4sams)– she takes ‘em apart!
