Description:
This was the typewriter that started it all for me. My parents purchased this for me at a flea market in Nashville, TN when I was a freshman in college. It was in good working condition as it still is, though it has accumulated dust over the years (which I feel appropriately bad for and plan to rectify). The ribbon also needs replacing. This machine has sentimental value for me because I used this to write drafts of poems and stories for my creative writing classes in college. I was "that typewriter guy," which may have had a bad connotation for some, but I embraced it.
