Description:
This had paper in it so it wasn’t until I got home that I noticed it has a brand new platen still in its wrapper. Well, brand new 40 years ago. Types well, though.

While I find all of mankind's inventions interesting, I am most enchanted by the human-scale arts and devices, the ones that can be created (and repaired) in a home workshop or studio; the ones that can be understood by looking at them; the ones that do something useful or stir admiration. Typewriters work for me.
