Description:
The third typewriter I purchased, I think at a yard sale for $15 long ago. Fresh platen rubber and feed rollers from Ames just before Ames went out of business. It's a splendid daily typer now, one of my favorites.
His name is "Little Jake". 10cpi Art Gothic typeface.
Sold by "Monarch" or "American Writing Machine" sub-brand of Remington via Union Trust Company.

I am a scoundrel without a cause, and my swank outshines the sun.
I am a casual Typewriter Hunter residing in the sweltering deserts of Arizona with a wife, three cats and about 50 typewriters. My main hunting ground is thrift stores, and I rarely pay more than $10 for a machine. My collection consists mainly of portables with cases, and they stay in the cases unless I am actively using it (usually more than one at a time). I do, however keep a handful of interesting Selectrics, including a Composer and a couple of large Nakajima Electronics to use as daisywheel printers for my vintage laptop collection.
