Our 7 Favorite Non-Furniture Items on Bazaar
Vintage Remington Ten Forty Typewriter – $225 – Super cute vintage typewriter that is perfect for use or display! In overall very good condition. All keys work but a couple are slow to return to their original position. I believe that with use and possibly some oiling it will be perfect. Original case is included and zipper works well. Only area of note: the black dial on the left has a section missing. It still works as it should do this is only a cosmetic issue not functional.
