Description:
Sighted at MTE, dated by documentation with machine. Purchased at Sears on Tenth St. in Soux Falls on Dec 12, 1958. Manual dated October 1958.
Holiday case, includes key and case tag as well as manual and receipt. One owner, low mileage. Apparently owned by one "Dinty Moore" according to the dymo label on the front shell. Parents with a weird sense of humor, or just someone who really likes canned stews? Just one of those little mysteries attached to any given typewriter. :D

I am a scoundrel without a cause, and my swank outshines the sun.
I am a casual Typewriter Hunter residing in the sweltering deserts of Arizona with a wife, three cats and about 50 typewriters. My main hunting ground is thrift stores, and I rarely pay more than $10 for a machine. My collection consists mainly of portables with cases, and they stay in the cases unless I am actively using it (usually more than one at a time). I do, however keep a handful of interesting Selectrics, including a Composer and a couple of large Nakajima Electronics to use as daisywheel printers for my vintage laptop collection.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Tower President on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Tower Serial Number page and the Tower President By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
