Description:
So clean and unmolested. How clean? I didn't remove one body panel for a light mineral spirits blowout, service, and go. If it weren't for being placed in the case, the wrong type, upside down, it'd be near perfect. Just look at the legend!

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
