This was the preferred typewriter of the Luke’s of Hemingway and many more famous writers. It appears to be fully functional although it needs new ink. I also tested it briefly before the ink dried so I cannot say with 100% certainty that it is fully functional.

This machine needs some work mechanically speaking. It has several issues that would need to be addressed for it to work perfectly. Cosmetically it’s in pretty decent shape, but it doesn’t have a carrying case. On the bright side, it does have new feet on it. The price is set where it is because of the rarity. I’m sure some of you in the collecting arena are aware of these college edition Corona Fours, and know that they don’t pop up for sale very often.
