Description:
Found today (Dec. 18, 2023) at a local flea market in the condition shown in the photos. Functions well -- a couple of keys sticking, but that will resolve itself once I clean the typewriter.

I'm a fan of mid-century modern design and analogue processes. I already have a couple of old Bell telephones, a collection of 1960s-vintage vinyl records, and a much-too-big collection of film cameras (both still and 16mm/8mm/Super 8) spanning from 1925 to circa 1982, but concentrating on about 1947-1960. And now I'm adding typewriters.
