Description:
I acquired this complete machine from a guy on Kijiji for a great deal. It was not functional when acquired, and it was somewhat rough, including rusted parts and a broken torsion spring. It was cosmetically ok, aside from some wrinkled and yellowed shellac and patches of worn paint. Shellac has been removed. It is now fully functional and nearly complete restoration; it will not undergo repainting/new graphics.

I am a young typewriter collector, based in Canada; I caught the bug when I came across a 1926 Underwood Standard No. 3 in an antique store, and was never able to get the darn thing out of my head. Since then, my collection has been rapidly growing. I especially like older machines, and I prefer restoring rough machines over hunting for perfect examples.
