190X Hammond 12 Serial # 197208(?) 190X Hammond 12 typewriter, Serial # 197208(?) Mark Schrad's 190X Hammond 12 typewriter. 2024-01-06 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mark Schrad: 190X Hammond 12 Serial # 197208(?) This Hammond 12 with the unusual green-painted base was purchased at auction from the estate of Ed Cusher in my hometown of Waterloo, Iowa, in January, 2024. According to the listing, Ed Cusher was a veteran of the US Army Signal Corp in the Korean War, and then worked for 30 years as a milkman for Carnation, before then being a flower deliveryman. Apparently he loved to go to auctions, buy and fix things. He passed away in 2023 at the age of 95, leaving some 11 typewriters behind, including this one.
