[GreenKeys] Here's a sweet one on the bay.

[Javier Albinarrate]

Hi there

The guy simply has no idea, nor he cares about those details, he just copied the text from this page:
http://branfordhouseantiques.com/cgi-bin/p/awtp-product.cgi?d=branford-house-antiques&item=44460
It’s the beauty of cut & paste  after all, everything that is written on internet is ALWAYS TRUE, right?

And that was clearly written by somebody clueless about the subject, in an effort to sell it for $740... they could just claimed as well that a TT-4 was in the Apollo 11, if that would have given them more chances to sell, or perhaps that it was used as anchor by the Mayflower. I have just realized that I can be very creative about this stuff, perhaps I should start selling on eBay!

Regards!

I'm beginning to wonder if the guy selling this item saw the "Bones" episode that used a trashed TT-4 that was called it an Enigma machine in the episode, so he now thinks the TT-4 is a cypher machine?

That's what I thought. I had a TT-4 parked in the garage for a while and never 
thought it looked like WWII vintage.

I'd also take exception to the claim that:
"The US Army Signal Corp's teletype typewriter... was the US equivalent to the
famous German enigma machine. "
Both were clever & complex machines but served entirely different purposes.
