Description:
This was my second typewriter purchase and first that I personally refurbished (thanks to the mainspring from my first typewriter purchase)! So, it has a special place in my heart as an OG. Purchased from an antique mall in Cincinnati, OH. A previous owner seems to have liberally applied some mechanical grease to various areas that I assume were rust-prone? Wonky alignment on a few slugs, but otherwise it's a gem. The "Floating Shift" key is my all-time favorite.
