Description:
$10.00 in a Central Nebraska Goodwill on a road trip; this is one of my top five machines for daily use. The action is sprightly and easy, and the font is crisp and elegant. It came in a blond case.

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.
