Description:
Picked this one up off an Etsy seller in NH. I suspect given the location that it came into the USA with a French Canadian family since many came to Manchester area that came to work in the Amoskeag Mills (and the local phonebook is still chock full of Gagnons, Pinards, LeBlancs, etc). How it got into Quebec? Possibly a soldier home from the war? Who knows. Interesting to speculate. Had problems with the carriage and general grime but it cleaned up okay (it came with the paint scratches).

New collector with a penchant for offbeat models/brands and, conversely, the mundane models many overlook, if I have a personal connection or just find them interesting. Finding that collecting typewriters is like eating potato chips, you can't have just one! Also restorer of mechanical calcs, Vintage audio, and vintage computers.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Rooy Intermédiaire 28 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Rooy Serial Number page and the Rooy Intermédiaire 28 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
