All original and in very good condition overall. The original Cromwell logo decal shows some wear, but still looks good. The case's feet are original and also in good condition. There is wear to the thin cloth that covers the plywood case, especially at the edges. In some places, that edge wear is through to the plywood.
Included is a new black/red ribbon in a pair of metal spools. The typewriter has been serviced and it types nicely and smoothly, much better than I expected from this model. This is the nicest Oliver Post-War Portable that I have seen.
