Description:
I found it at an antique mall and flea market. It was in good condition, and they marked down the price. There was some correction paper in the case, too. The lock sticks, so I have to make sure it latches when I close the carry case lid.

I’m an amateur typewriter enthusiast from the Midwest who buys and restores typewriters. I was enamored with them since I was young, and got hooked when I was about 13 and received my first machine as a gift. Since then I have bought a lot, gotten some as gifts, and am currently trying to sell a few. Maybe one day I'll give a machine to a child who will begin the new generation of Typewriter Hunters.
