1974 Sears Manual 2 Serial # L4223361 1974 Sears Manual 2 typewriter, Serial # L4223361 Michael Hoehne's 1974 Sears Manual 2 typewriter. 2020-04-24 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Michael Hoehne: 1974 Sears Manual 2 Serial # L4223361 Made in Japan for Sears, though I don’t know which factory; maybe someone here can recognize whether it’s Brother or Nakajima. Good condition. The shell was once whiter and has yellowed with exposure. Has a new-style double-wall molded case. Types adequately and has a wide carriage. It has a different kind of auto paragraph indent, which works in conjunction with the carriage return only, not as a special kind of tab like the others I have seen. That double-arrow key on the right performs THREE functions: margin release, auto paragraph indent, and key unjamming.

While I find all of mankind's inventions interesting, I am most enchanted by the human-scale arts and devices, the ones that can be created (and repaired) in a home workshop or studio; the ones that can be understood by looking at them; the ones that do something useful or stir admiration. Typewriters work for me.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Sears Manual 2 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Sears Serial Number page and the Sears Manual 2 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
