Description:
Craigslist from Northern Virginia for $60. This machine is also known as the "Noisy Noiseless" because it has the noiseless mechanism but it is detuned so that it still makes noise. It is one of the loudest machines I own. It is also horrible to type on. About the only things going for this typewriter are its relative rarity and stunning good looks.
Sold to someone who will gift it to her mother as a Christmas gift. And she also said she might want one for herself... a new typospherian? We shall see.

I am an aspiring novelist and avid typewriter enthusiast from the New River Valley in Virginia. I am a proud Virginia Tech graduate with an education in creative writing. I use typewriters for all my writing and am working on a novel. I also do street poetry. I often can be found writing on one of my machines in downtown Blacksburg and enjoying a drink.
