Description:
This is either the first or the second of the Hammond 2 twins. This one is formerly of the Clark Collection, and was purchased from Tony Casillo in Garden City, NY, in October of 2022. With a good cleaning and maintenance, it types well enough, though it originally came with a universal shuttle, rather than an ideal one. Still, the figures on the shuttle used here do not line up with those on the keycaps, so I'll likely be on the hunt for a replacement shuttle.

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