Description:
A Goodwill Online purchase that needed just a little more work than I was ready to put into it. A local friend has it now and cleaning has revealed the SN so I am entering it into da database. Zach did an inspection and made notes for the future owner, Oliver, who is getting it as a gift from a parent. I love it when things work out like this!
Needs one rubber foot or a set of 4 and 2 of the screws that hold the foot on and thread into the posts that hold the machine in place in the case. Any recommendations on where to get parts is appreciated.

I have many pen pals and correspond via handwritten and typed letters. I have a (painful) sitting disability and type while standing- UPDATE! I can also type on an ultraportable I set up on my bed. Typing and collecting machines with different typefaces keeps me busy and happily distracted from the difficulties in life-fountain pens, too, and I can write legibly, in cursive, while laying down. Join me on Type Pals and register for the monthly postcard exchanges. The “Cat Mews†is a quarterly publication of the philatelic topical group Cats On Stamps Study Unit (COSSU), for which I am a column contributor. My cats are Wiffle Wizard and Urushi (Rushi) Blizzard, aka the Blizzard Sisters.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Oliver Courier on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Oliver Serial Number page and the Oliver Courier By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
