Description:
Nickname "Rosie"
Named after the robot maid in The Jetsons, Rosie looks like we all thought the future was going to look like in the best way possible. 10-pitch Pica; Meadow Green body and white keys. Purchased on eBay this is another machine that came to me needing no cleaning or adjustment, just a new ribbon. The action is reasonably enjoyable, not the best typer, but far from the worst. It has the advantage of not looking like any other typewriter.

Metastatic cancer fighter and sudden cardiac arrest survivor who has gotten into vintage typewriter collecting after realizing that life is short and typewriters are fascinating. My machines range from 1947 to 1969 and I type on all of them and have given each of them a name. Have I mentioned that life is short? I am having great fun with this obsessi- I mean hobby. I live in San Diego, California.
