Description:
Got this early example of the new "F" Typemaster model at a thrift store for the price of an average meal. There was no case, and some damage which I could fix. After a good cleaning, it proves to be solid, dependable machine, that could go a few rounds with Joe Louis and still be standing. Really would like to find a tripod case for this one; but I guess, who wouldn't.

I'm just a regular fella, living the lush life in a haunted house out in the sticks. Back in the 80's and 90's I had several vintage typing machines, but through the gauntlet of dislocation they inevitably fell away. Now that I am finally a homeowner (albeit haunted), I can indulge in the love that I had and still have for these machines. Funny though, back 30-40 years ago, you couldn't"t give them away. But its good to see that people care about these wonders again.
