Description:
The Williams Academy appears to be based on the Williams 2. The Academy model was designed for students at a more economical price.
This machine was formally owned by FN (A Typewriter Hunter) who purchased it from the Tilman Elster estate a number of years ago, according to his/her listing.
I purchased it from an EBay listing in Logrono Spain.
When it arrived from its long journey to America it had fresh paint in many areas- which I removed.
'ACADEMY' once appeared on the back area of the 'grasshopper legs'. All that remains is faded paint where the decal once existed. A photo could not pick up the shadow.
It is now in excellent condition considering its age and a through cleaning. I do not have the case.
It is currently my favorite typewriter in my collection.

I am an avid typewriter enthusiast with currently over one hundred (100) typewriters in my collection (and growing). I am a proud TWDB Patron. I have also collected vintage briefcases (mostly Hartmann) Movie Cameras (8mm & 16mm) and many Fountain Pens. I am the author of the novella 'Killer on the Canvas'. I am also a big Don Quixote fan. I make my home in Southern California.
My Typewriter manufacture dates currently range from 1883 to 1996.
