Description:
This unit is in pretty decent condition. Some cleaning and adjustments are required to make fully functional. Type head works, but is slow to return. Mechanisms show buildup. The case is intact and in good condition. I will update after repairs are completed.

I have been collecting, restoring, and repairing, for a bit over 2 years now. The Majority of my collection is Mid and early century, and my preferred period is developing more to 19th century and early 20th. I am currently seeking more 19th century models to add to the collection.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Blickensderfer 5 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Blickensderfer Serial Number page and the Blickensderfer 5 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
