Description:
Found at an antique mall in Roanoke Virginia and haggled down to $45. This is a twin to my favorite typewriter and the one I often bring downtown if I am planning to do a lot of writing. The words on the case are my own embellishment.
"Fornit some fornus" is from a Stephen King short story titled "Ballad of the Flexible Bullet" which can be found in his collection Skeleton Crew. It's a very typewriter focused story and is masterfully and stunningly written.

I am an aspiring novelist and avid typewriter enthusiast from the New River Valley in Virginia. I am a proud Virginia Tech graduate with an education in creative writing. I use typewriters for all my writing and am working on a novel. I also do street poetry. I often can be found writing on one of my machines in downtown Blacksburg and enjoying a drink.
