Description:
This little machine is a little worse for wear; the name plate is missing and there's a little rust on the case, but it functions well and is lightweight and a good fit for my 9-year-old.

I started collecting typewriters in 1996 when my employer at an old newsstand in Kalamazoo, MI gave me her mother's Underwood Elliot Fisher Noiseless; I love these machines and learning how to repair and maintain them. The Noiseless was the medium for a zine I wrote through the nineties and into the oughts, and my nine-year-old daughter now types regularly.
