Description:
Bought for a bargain but it is totally frozen! I love the decals, though. They're quite well preserved. This typewriter will need a lot of cleaning, de-resting and oiling to make it run again. But all the parts appear to be present, albeit rusted. This should make for a good project during my retirement days. Lol!

I'm an archaeologist who writes heritage books and collects Japanese ceramics as well as quite a number of typewriters that I've acquired through purchase or as gifts over the last 10 years in the Philippines as well as in the US and Japan.
I'm currently a visiting professor at a university in Japan and it is heaven here to see so many typewriters being auctioned online!
