Description:
This is my first typewriter, it types rilly well, some people say its like a Hermes machine but I wouldn't know, it has absolutely no extra features like color selectors or key tensioners and yet im my opinion I still think it outperforms a Royal from the same time.
The rubber feat on this machine did crack off over the years but the case is alright.

Hi, I started collecting typewriters in my early teens . One day I stumbled across an antique store on my way home, I saw a typewriter outside the shop and I urged my Mother to pull over so I could check it out. I don't know where this intrigue can from but after that machine I became fascinated with them. I figured I should mention that, most people seem to get into this hobby for nostalgia, I just like mechanical things.
I started a Youtube channel called The Jersey Type
