Is this adding machine rare or just not worth posting?

I found this old Burroughs adding machine in my grandparents’ house (can’t ask them about it anymore), and I can’t find any pictures online or a real one that looks like it. The only picture that looks exactly like this is the 1930 electric portable ad that is in picture 3, but even googling that didn’t bring up any machines that look just like this one. There’s no hand crank or defining features on either side. Serial number at bottom of keyboard is 9-1499730. There was also a 1948 Royal quiet deluxe with it that looks barely used and works perfect that I’ll post soon:)

Edit: it’s not a typewriter but I saw some others posted on this sub so I figured it was okay and I think it’s too old for /vintagecomputing. It’s also posted to /addingmachines
