Description:
Purchased in Montréal, Québec.
Was dusty but functional, except missing the spool covers, which I got from the US.
Has a Canadian bilingual keyboard layout for French diacritics. The platen is much harder on this model than on a common manual typebar machine, yet it is very smooth. I think it might be originally like that.

Bonjour! I am from the region of Montreal, Quebec and moved to Ottawa, Ontario in 1992.
Amateur watchmaker and machinist, I love anything mechanical, hydraulic or electric. I have restored American and Canadian clocks and small lathes, milling machines and a jig bore.
Most of my typewriters have French Canadian QWERTY keyboards, with some exception for rare finds.
