Description:
Sometimes a $10 garage sale find really is too good to be true! This beautiful Torpedo types, but freezes up badly when you do anything with the tabulator, and there are mechanical issues galore that can't be fixed due to bent parts and the enthusiastic amateurism of a previous owner. Sold on eBay in November 2019.

Resident of Portland, Oregon since 2015. Mostly interested in semi-portables of the '30s, '40s, and '50s (the late glass key top through late pre-electric eras), with a special interest in unusual or distinctive typefaces other than techno and script. Always learning!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Torpedo 18b on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Torpedo Serial Number page and the Torpedo 18b By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
