1887 Yost 1 Serial # 4783 1887 Yost 1 typewriter, Serial # 4783 Mark Schrad's 1887 Yost 1 typewriter. 2023-08-19 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mark Schrad: 1887 Yost 1 Serial # 4783 A project machine from the Bob Aubert collection of Delran, NJ. Looks like it was in process of being restored--which only seems to have amounted to sending the platen off to Ames to get re-covered. Of course, in the many years that have passed, it is also exceptionally hard. But it looks nice, though. These are the "before" restoration pictures (August 2023).
