Description:
I originally got this brown 1949 Clipper in 2017, from a junk man in Aberdeen, Maryland, who apparently found it in a house he was hired to tear apart. I call it my Dolemite typewriter, as a similar one was used in the 2019 Rudy Ray Moore biopic "Dolemite is my Name" in scenes with Eddie Murphy and Keegan-Michael Key.
