Description:
This wonderful hunk of metal is a beauty to type on! It is my jewel of my typewriter collection. Sadly it is also allmost the heaviest of them. But it doesn't take away the fact that it works completly perfect except for the draw band have snapped of when I got it and it won't quite advance the carrige the hole way to the edge but works with no problems with a ordinary A4 paper loaded.

Hi my name is Kewin and I'm a 24 years old from Sweden. I have a few hobbies like drawing and playing guitar but I do also like myself some project here and there which is where my interest in typewriters fits in. I have always collected things through my life but I did not expect typewriters to be my next big passion in collecting. I started collecting typewriters in the beginning of 2022 and so far I have 80* of them (3 of which is currently disassembled) . I find it really enjoyable to pickup a typewriter at a thrift store/second hand and starting to clean it up and get it to a working condition to the best of my ability and knowledge. (Excuse all the dog hairs in my pictures, I do actually try to remove the hair before taking the pictures. xD) Cheers!
