1920 Fox Portable 2 Serial # 10762 1920 Fox Portable 2 typewriter, Serial # 10762 Tyler Anderson's 1920 Fox Portable 2 typewriter. 2016-07-06 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Tyler Anderson: 1920 Fox Portable 2 Serial # 10762 This poor machine has been sitting in pieces in my repair queue, as it keeps being pushed back by newer acquisitions. I promised myself to get it fixed up finally here sometime soon, so it can proudly join its brothers and sisters. Only 2,000 model 2's were made. The main difference between the 1 and the 2 is a new design for the carriage and escapement mechanisms, which allow for speedier and easier work.

Update: Holy Smith-Coronie, I finally got around to getting this bugger back up to snuff.
