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.

Can't figure out humans but I can tinker with mechanical things. Typewriter passion has become nearly an obsession. Keep a spreadsheet of my collection and rotate daily typer occasionally to exercise the herd. All my machines are cleaned, lubed, adjusted and in working order. My mentors are local shop owners in PDX.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Monitor (Oliver) Portable on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Monitor (Oliver) Serial Number page and the Monitor (Oliver) Portable By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
