Description:
This typewriter is in beautiful condition. The hood lifts and shuts perfectly with that satisfying feel of something engineered and made to last a lifetime. Not a speck of dust inside the case! Maybe the unusual typeface kept it put away most of the time. I am really looking forward to typing emphasizes sentences in the middle of a letter just for fun.

I have many pen pals and correspond via handwritten and typed letters. I have a (painful) sitting disability and type while standing- UPDATE! I can also type on an ultraportable I set up on my bed. Typing and collecting machines with different typefaces keeps me busy and happily distracted from the difficulties in life-fountain pens, too, and I can write legibly, in cursive, while laying down. Join me on Type Pals and register for the monthly postcard exchanges. The “Cat Mews†is a quarterly publication of the philatelic topical group Cats On Stamps Study Unit (COSSU), for which I am a column contributor. My cats are Wiffle Wizard and Urushi (Rushi) Blizzard, aka the Blizzard Sisters.
