Description:
Found this black beauty in a display window at an antique store. Belonged to the owner of the store until I inquired about her and we struck a deal on it. Adopted her on December 19, 2024. I named her Victoria after the character from Corpse Bride. Had to replace a draw band and retighten the the mainspring after I accidentally unwound it during cleaning. Runs like a dream now!

I have admired typewriters since I found my fairly recently acquired 1923 Underwood No. 5 from a local antique store in my hometown of Mount Vernon, Ohio. To me, typewriters are a window to the soul, allowing the user to creatively express themselves and to get to know more about themselves through poems, art, newsletters, or whatever the typer chooses to craft and create. I am always on the hunt and keep my eyes peeled for new finds wherever and whenever they come my way.
