The photography is stunning, with amazing detail. I can almost tell that it's a typewriter. Except that it's inside the case.

Actual text of advertisement:
WANTED - TYPEWRITERS
We are looking for typewriters to use in a play, they must look like they are operational but must be smashed on stage. We are willing to come and collect them but it would be preferable if they were around the Melbourne area.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!

Especially as it has clearly seen action in WW11!
Just don't tell the seller that by WW2, no one was seriously still using these.
