Description:
This is an extremely attractive typewriter with a good touch which types awful. I got it from eBay for $58. I only use it occasionally, particularly when I am writing for someone who I think might prefer an "authentic" looking typewritten page with a lot of character over a page which is more legible.
Update: The previous owner had put on an oddly thick ribbon. I replaced it and it types clearly like any other machine now.
Sold to a Virginia Tech engineering student who wanted a typewriter. I chose to sell this because I bought a Streamliner and having both seemed redundant.

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.
