Description:
Found this machine locally in Gatineau, Quebec.
Was owned by a woman born in 1930 who worked as a text revisor/editor.
The machine is perfectly functional but shows wear to the paint and some dings, as it should of an ultra-portable typewriter meant for the traveler.
Pica 10 cpi typeface. QWERTY Canadian English keyboard. Made in Canada.

Bonjour! I am from the region of Montreal, Quebec and moved to Ottawa, Ontario in 1992.
Amateur watchmaker and machinist, I love anything mechanical, hydraulic or electric. I have restored American and Canadian clocks and small lathes, milling machines and a jig bore.
Most of my typewriters have French Canadian QWERTY keyboards, with some exception for rare finds.
