Description:
Picked up at an antique store in Delaware, Ohio. I took this type sample before the machine had been serviced, and virtually each type bar had to be pulled back by hand.
There was a lot of corrosion/rust in the segment slots.
The machine is typing now, and I will take another, complete type sample.

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.
