RARE".........Hard to Find........Antique Odell Type Writer No.3
Chicago, Ill. Circa 1899-1905 Found at Estate Sale of Older couple No. 3 Odell is the first to have the enlarged semicircular nameplate section on the printing arm of the machine. Am selling this for my grown son and he recently contacted an Antique buyer & collector and was told this model sells for between $500 to $1,000 depending on condition of course. Have low start price of: $300 with NO RESERVE! Often I found out the ink roller is missing, this one has the ink roller, although it is separate from the machine and has two extra springs as can be seen in one of the photos. This is often called an index typewriter. The user slides the bar to the appropriate point, and presses down. The type brushes past an ink roller before contacting the paper, which is fed to the narrow cylindrical platen..The ink roller sat on a spring that was attached to the fork that stands up from the base. The pieces are there as you can see in one photo: two springs and one roller. They would need to be attached and I have no idea as to how to do this. There is also an extra screw in the photo as well. It is a heavy little machine. If someone lives close by they could pick it up and save on postage if they wish. Has a wonderful Art Deco design, am told these were nickel-plated. Has brass plaque on rounded top says: Patented Mfg. by the Odell-Young Type Writer Co. Chicago. Which from research I found online is another RARE feature of this machine. The old piece of yellow paper you see in photo I forgot to remove, was there when machine was bought by my grown son it was an old torn little envelope that held the extra pieces you see in one of the photos. Please let me know if you have any other questions I will try and answer them. All the info I found on this item was via the internet and the collector my son spoke with, and he has one of these models in his collection. It is sold as is.
