Description:
This typewriter was in rough shape when I got it on Facebook marketplace. Although cosmetically in pretty good condition, all keys were sticking, one was unlinked and the carriage band needed replacing. Got it in good working order and a very solid machine now,

Hi fellow Typewriter enthusiasts! I have been fascinated with manual typewriters since I bought my first typewriter from eBay back in 2002. That Underwood S model then led to some other models I've picked up over the years. Recently I have been fortunate enough to make a dedicated "Typewriter Gallery" in my home and my collecting has really accelerated. I thought this would be a good opportunity to begin including my collection into this amazing resource: the Typewriter Database.
