The type could use a bit of cleaning, but it’s legible.

The linespace selector cost me some fiddling, too. Pull out the little knurled knob and turn it to change between single and double spacing.

The case had a card with the previous owner’s name and address. I kept it, but turned it over in this picture to protect the privacy of someone who’s probably long dead.

I’m a writer who often writes with a typewriter to get away from the computer for a while. I think I became a typewriter collector when I bought my typewriters some industrial-grade wheeled steel shelving from a restaurant supply house. Before that I was just an accumulator, but now I’ve spent more on shelves than on all the typewriters put together. (They were all cheap.)

I have steel pens, too, which I also write with regularly. Both collections started at the same moment in 1990, at the liquidation of the head offices of the old G. C. Murphy five-and-dime chain, where I bought a Woodstock typewriter, two gross of Esterbrook Jackson Stub pens, and three bottles of Carter’s green ink.
