Description:
October, likely November 1932- probably one of the first off the lot (it was one of the ones that while it supposedly had a button to switch from 'noisy' to 'noiseless', no such button exists on the machine itself). Fixed, touched up, and cleaned this one for a friend (pictures taken before doing so)- found that it makes a rather unappealing, "silent" typing noise. Its construction looks like metal but is largely plastic, making it feel somewhat cheap. An odd model- I wasn't a fan unfortunately.

As a writer, I'm always looking for new ways to explore the craft, and now my addiction to old typewriters and finding ways to actually use them has greatly inspired me
