Description:
This gorgeous Triumph belongs to a friend. He was using it and the escapement seized on it, so I took it in and fixed it up for him. For a typewriter from 1937, this thing is in amazing shape, and it types quite well, with a smooth, confident feel. The top cover appears to be some kind of plastic or bakelite. Still has its original spools and cleaning brush, and the case is in nice shape for its age.

I "accidentally" started collecting typwriters in the fall of 2020. After my daughter got one cheap at a junk shop, and hearing that she intended to use it to write some old fashioned snail-mail letters to friends, I decided to get "a" typewriter myself to do the same. The first one was a real lucky break: a pristine 1950 Smith-Corona Sterling in perfect condition. From there I got interested in other brands and in refurbishing dirty and forgotten machines. I've had 65+ typewriters at this point, passing many along to excited new owners to keep my collection hovering around 20 machines.
