Description:
2026-SEP-02, Gallery Creation. This was a bummer in a way, to find this eBay sold listing today. A Standard Folding 1, #2559, in what looks to be great condition, for a "Buy It Now" price of $240.00. Sold by "nakedearthjewelry" based in Summerville, SC. I missed this listing, and I expect it went very quickly. Compared to my recent sighting on Etsy of #2779, again I note the addition of the Feb 8, 2010 patent date to the right of the main stampings on the back. This pushes back even earlier the start of serial numbers for 1910, I would guess. See my discussion for #2779 linked below.

My interest in typewriters started in 1997, when I was in graduate school at the University of Georgia. I purchased and read Darryl Rehr's book, joined ETC, and started reaching out to known collectors. I had several email interchanges with Richard Polt dating from that period. I also bought some of my first machines from Bob Aubert, and visited him at his home twice. After marriage and relocation to New England, I continued visiting antique shops and eBay, until other priorities put my typewriter hobby on hiatus around 2008.
In late 2024, I started up again, working on my machines and having some of them serviced professionally by New England Typewriter (NET) LLC (Merrimack, NH), until they closed their doors in December of 2025. Since mid-2025, I have been adding to my collection again, first with a Hermes 3000 purchase from NET, then with various auctions and purchases on eBay, when I find something that catches my eye.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Standard Folding 1 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Standard Folding Serial Number page and the Standard Folding 1 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
