Our collection includes a 1960’s typewriter that has hard plastic keys. This piece has been on display for about two years until recently when it was removed to make room for a new exhibit. Upon removal I noticed the space key was broken and missing about 1” from the right side. I do have the piece that was broken off. Does anyone have a suggestion of how I should reattach it? Is there any kind of acceptable glue for plastic or should I just leave it alone?

 

Thanks,
