Description:
Ongoing restoration. Purchased from Ottawa Community Thrift, Ottawa, IL on 02/21/24. Facebook Marketplace find.
First of 3 purchases that day where I decided to drive to O'Hare International Airport to pick up my mother-in-law through the backroads, hitting every antique store on the way.

Just an amateur typewriter enthusiast. I've been wanting to get back into typewriting for journaling and therapy. Initially I was just going to type, but learning to clean/fix/restore them myself has also been great for my mental health.
