Description:
When new, this machine must have looked stunning with its blue keys and shiny metallic paint.
The machine is not in the greatest condition, but it has some potential. The picture shows it as I got it and put it in my trunk.
It is missing the plastic on the on/off lever. The right platen knob appears to be a replacement and is black. The panel around the keys is quite rusty.

I started collecting my first pre-WW2 standard typewriters in 2017. Since then I have added a few machines to my collection, which now ranges from the 1880s to the 1980s. As of 2024, I have more big standard (desktop) typewriters than portables, a few standard electrics, and some unusual machines like Varitypers, uncommon IBM machines, and more. I am not a pro restorer, but I have restored a few of my machines beyond simple cleaning.
