1947 Imperial Model 55 Serial # 271688 1947 Imperial Model 55 typewriter, Serial # 271688 Uwe Wachtendorf's 1947 Imperial Model 55 typewriter. 2014-08-29 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Uwe Wachtendorf: 1947 Imperial Model 55 Serial # 271688 I'm convinced that it was a typewriter collector who came up with the idea to torture people by pulling out their fingernails. This Imperial has the worst case of fingernail gouging that I've ever seen, a few of its keys have craters so deep that a geologist would describe them as volcanoes. I'll have to fill them with epoxy before getting to the cosmetic repair.
