This uses 3/8 in gummed tape and prints only. It is a variant on the m14 and
is an early as it has no Green keys. The first ones were marked Morkrum
Kleinschmidt starting around 1929 the Teletype branding was used.

> Item Description:
> What a machine! It is 12 1/4" high, 15 1/4" wide and 16 1/2" deep. On
the inside the two brass tags read: "Manufactured by Teletype
Corporation Chicago U.S.A." and the other one reads: "Western Union
Telegraph Co. Simplex Printer 2-13 43763". There are two key covers
missing and a bit of rust here and there. This is another one of those
machines that I have no idea what it was used for or how it works, it too
just looked really cool. If questions, please email, I will do my best to
answer them. Will ship Int. We accept Paypal/all money orders/cashiers
checks and personal checks. Buyer pays to ship/insure. Good Luck!
