Description:

Bailey (purchased from a bail bondsman - Facebook Marketplace Bowie, MD). Black. 12/31/2021, initial rehab/repair. As of 2024, it needs more work - #3 key does not strike, spongy typing, all keys seem to strike too hard (holes in paper), and ribbon does not move when typing.

Started collecting in March 2021 when an Olympia SM3 caught my eye at a thrift store. By May 2021, I was up to nine. By September 2021, my husband jumped in to the pool with both feet and our collection grew to 37. Phew. By October 2022 we had 64. In 2023 we began attending and hosting events where we can share our collection with the community and other collectors. We've sold or given away about 21. Good times.
