Description:
I purchased this from a collector via eBay who services machines. He lives locally, so I was able to try it out before purchase. It's a lovely machine that works well with a decent platen. It came with the holiday case that has some scuffs, but is in otherwise good condition. It has become one of my favorites.

I recently started collecting typewriters after rediscovering my love for them at an event. I am fortunate to live in an area with a small group of people who appreciate typewriters. We meet bimonthly and share recent finds and host type-ins to let others in our area discover the joy of typewriters.
