Description:
This machine is missing 3 keys ("Z", left shift lock, and tab clear) and the rear panel on the carriage.
It types to some extent, but the space bar and carriage return are non-functional, and the tab column is wobbly.
The spools are interesting. The machine is attached to a flat base.
Here are some quick and dirty pictures.

I started collecting my first pre-WW2 standard typewriters in 2017. Since then I have added a few machines to my collection, which now ranges from the 1880s to the 1980s. As of 2024, I have more big standard (desktop) typewriters than portables, a few standard electrics, and some unusual machines like Varitypers, uncommon IBM machines, and more. I am not a pro restorer, but I have restored a few of my machines beyond simple cleaning.
