Description

This object consists of three (3) vintage Xerox Daisy Wheel print wheels in original boxes. Two of the boxes bear stamps reading Jan. 79, and one is stamped Feb. 79. A green and white sticker on the opening flaps of the boxes reads "Style USA-Vintage 12". The wheels are contained directly within round yellow plastic cases, with clear lids. Marked on the lids in raised plastic is a daisy border encircling the words "Xerox Electronic Typing System". The wheel consists of characters at the end of thin metal prongs in a circle around a metal center piece. There is a circle or grip tape reinforcing the metal prongs as they attach to the middle section. In the middle, printed in green on two of the three wheels, is "9R21102 Xerox Vintage 12". One of the wheels has "9R21011 Xerox Titan 10" printed in blue. At the center is a black metal knob.
