Description:
This was my grandmothers typewriter that she used during her time as a bookkeeper in her husband's furniture store. This was my first typewriter, fully functioning, no issues. I rode in the car for an hour and a half with this in my lap to take it home.

Growing up, my grandmother had a typewriter sitting on top of a filing cabinet. I always wanted to try it out, but it wasn't until 20 years later when she closed her store that she finally let me have it. Since then, I have been on the search for more.
