The paint on this machine is in exceptionally good condition, especially considering that it had no case, and was sitting in the open in an antique shop. The millitary item designation is clearly visible on the front of the machine: MX-322/U

The segment slots and type bars were badly corroded, and virtually non of the keys moved when we brought this back to the shop. It's really strange considering the visible condition of the rest of the machine. There is a lot of stainless steel in the chassis, I don't know if that was a military-specific requirement, but there is no corrosion internally apart from this.

I love machines, machining, creating things from nothing. Typewriters have struck a romantic chord in me, thanks to my oldest son, and I am working with him and the rest of our family to acquire, restore, repair many machines.
Our collection grows in fits and spurts - as the seasons change. We make a lot of acquisitions at estate sales, yard and garage sales, thrift stores, online, and through personal connections.
The machines that we don't want to keep in our own collection, we are selling through various outlets - Etsy, Square Market, and eventually on eBay - and unlike some sellers, we KNOW how to pack a machine for shipment! :-)
Brumfield & Sons Typewriters, at your service.
