This typewriter was purchased from the grandson of the person who bought it new and used it his whole life. It is in excellent condition and everything works. I met him as he was flying into DFW airport from Tampa.

I was introduced to typewriters first in 1964 as I started two years of typing class in high school. My first typewriter was an IBM executive Model B that I used all through college, trying to impress my teachers with the proportional type, but they were never really impressed.
