Description:
The Sterling typewriter was a short-lived machine derived from earlier designs by Charles J. Paulson, representing one of the final iterations of the Eagle/Defi lineage. Marketed as a low-cost alternative, it featured an unconventional mechanism and outdated design that struggled to compete in a rapidly evolving typewriter market. This is one of about a dozen known Sterling 2 survivors.

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