Description:
Found at a flea market in Renfrew, Ontario, costing all of $23 and in apparently non-functional condition. The carriage rail was detached on the left hand side, which we've fixed, so now the carriage, escapement and backspace work properly. Still needs more work and a lot of cleaning, after which I will update this listing.
