Description:
Oliver branded as a Monitor. Maybe sold in Canada originally? Has five fractions, a pound and dollar symbol as well. Lacks the Oliver cut-outs on the hood. Can't find any reference to the Monitor brand.

Started collecting in 2022 after watching California Typewriter. I have always been a mechanical tinkerer and find that these machines are most fascinating and can be worked on a bench top. Unlike old trucks, motorcycles, really anything with a gas engine that used to hold my interest.
