Description:
I fixed this thrift store find for a friend. I have a '53 Silent and noticed the nice "1/!" and "+/=" keys.
This was beat up, filthy, full of cat hair, and pounded out, but I did get it working.
"Desert Sand" color with an elite (12 cpi) typeface. This came with the advertised "Holiday Case."
