Description:
Earliest known Courier? Made probably in 1903. Black paint, a lot of rust. Several parts are missing or damaged.
I'm not sure if I will be able to complete the renovation.

Historical typewriters, cameras, sewing machines, ... - all beautiful things, that work only on the basis of human skill and ability. Therefore, they deserve our attention and respect. I do not want to let those inventions that pushed us forward much faster than we were prepared, them disappear in this way.
Lives in Michalovce, Slovakia. Proud father of two children. Started collecting in March 2020. More a hunter than a collector or restorer. But determined to change it and bring the machines to a new life. Thank you in advance for any of your advice and help. (English is not my strong side, so I use Uncle Google's help. Correct me anytime).
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Courier Standard on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Courier Serial Number page and the Courier Standard By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
