Description:
Sometimes typewriter collecting takes you weird places. This scarce, white QDL took me to the Victory Brewing Company in Downingtown, PA. The employee I got it from there found it in a storage unit he had purchased, from some artist on the Main Line, whose name is etched, quite secretly, into the underside of the paper table. I currently don't have a collection of the colored QDL series, but having had a half-dozen of them, this white one really takes the cake! Simply gorgeous.
