Harris Visible Typewriter value + rarity?

Found one on craigslist 2 hours away. Is it rare or worth it? I cant seem to find much about it.

As far as I know, it is quite uncommon because they didn't make too many of them.


A high schooler with a lot of typewriters. That's pretty much about it.

The Harris typewriters are cool little machines! However, we can in no way help you, as we don't know condition, price, etc. Kinda hard to give you an opinion with no facts to base it on.

So I'll just go with "maybe" ;-)


When you aren't looking for it... you ALWAYS find it!!!

Re: Harris Visible Typewriter value + rarity?

I think that the Harris Visible or Rex Visible, in any model should be on the "want list" of every true collector.  These durable machines often survive intact and largely operable, and since something like 60,000 or 70,000 were made there are enough left that anyone can find a good one with patience.  The versions with more elaborate decals (which were simplified somewhat later on) are really attractive when cleaned up.
