Description:
Picked up in June 2025 along with a 1937 Monarch Pioneer near Trenton, NJ. Paint is in excellent condition, however the body shows signs of having been dropped. No mechanical issues associated with the damage though! Platen is rock-hard, although the rest of the rubber feels quite good for the age. Mostly working, although the carriage is a bit sluggish and still needs some extra cleaning. Really enjoyable to type on. QWERTY keyboard with some European characters.

I have a modest collection I started as a teenager. I recently started actively collecting machines again and now Iâm back up to about 20 machines.
