Description:
This was being held for me at a thrift store where they know I want them. Just dirty with sticking keys on the left side---otherwise great. It came in that great and ingenious Holiday Case.

While I find all of mankind's inventions interesting, I am most enchanted by the human-scale arts and devices, the ones that can be created (and repaired) in a home workshop or studio; the ones that can be understood by looking at them; the ones that do something useful or stir admiration. Typewriters work for me.
