Scuffs and lights marks of use throughout, but more apparent on top of typewriter, near "valentine" logo. I am not a typewriter technician, however the machine has been tested to the best of my ability and seems in good working condition. Ink ribbon seems a bit dry, but still works as seen in photos. less
