Description:
Stumbled across this at a flea market. I like it's simple decoration. Some of the parts have heavy oxidation, yet it types decently before I've done any work. Cleaning and typesample forthcoming.

Occasional typewriter user and 'variety accumulator' but not a serious collector.
My first typewriter was a SCM Galaxie/Classic that I bought at a thrift store in Middle School. Taught myself how to use it without the manual. Used it for school work that needed to be entered into print-outs. I liked the machine, although it is heavy, but I always hated the case.
Recently, something awakened in me and I have been finding a few modest projects and interesting machines to try manual typing again.
