Description:
A dubious combination of white and purple, this machine was repainted under requests of the person who now owns it.
These Eatons machines were rebranded Smith-Coronas, these being roughly equivalent to a Sterling or very late model Clipper. As such, they are pleasant machines to type with.
Sometimes things get pushed into the edges of good taste. Still not sure if this went a little past it.
