The impressive Commercial Visible 6 has a distinct low profile with a narrow “waist,” and features an eye-catching gold decal, with an eagle, centered in the typewriter’s name.
This typewriter uses a type wheel that can be exchanged to change the font. When typing, a spring-loaded hammer behind the carriage swings forward to strike the paper and ribbon against the type wheel.
The flat metal holder on top of the left-hand ribbon spool holds a fountain pen, allowing the typist to draw horizontal or vertical lines by moving the carriage sideways or the paper up and down. A pen is shown in this clip in the second image below.
The last image is a fantastic illustration from the cover of the manual.
This typewriter originally sold for $50.00.
