Description:

In February 2024 I was gifted 8 typewriters by another collector who needed the space. This is one of them. The ribbon advance mechanism currently only works one way and a few keys are slightly sticky. But it types! The 8 has a nick in it - wonder how that happened? I like its petite size and portability, and can overlook the lack of tab, paper support, and a hard to find line spacer. Maybe I'll build a case for it someday.

So I pulled them out and fell in love with all things manual typewriter. In short order my aunt gifted me 2 more, a cousin set 3 my way, various friends were happy to unload typewriters from their attics & garages to my Home for Wayward Typewriters. ... So now, spring of 2023 I have a collection of 13 typewriters, in various stages of functionality, I have intent to fix them all, starting any day now. . . meanwhile, I am learning and documenting and dreaming
