WWII Navy Typewriter

[TrevorR]

In a local shop a few miles away there is a WWII Navy typewriter. Its about $50. Would that be a good buy? How much is it worth?

I'm not sure if being military adds value but the normal old manual typewritters are usually about $25. There isn't much of a market for them.

I looked at some past ebay sales and based on what a couple Navy typewriters sold for, I'd say that $50 is little less than you'd pay for one on ebay (including shipping). So if you want this for your collection, it's a fair price, but you'd priobably lose trying to re-sell it.
