#405
A three bank toy, but for a toy, this had a few more features than I expected. It has a ribbon reverse, a paper bail (no rollers), and a colorful leather case.It is missing a very specific ribbon spool and it's thinner ribbon. Also, they didn't bother to give it a serial number. I does state, in three different locations, that it is made in Japan. This model is very similar to the Sears "Tutor" of the same era (ribbon cover).

"I was born in a crossfire hurricane"...
A professor in college gave me the gift and appreciation of the letter form.
Typewriters are just little "print shops" for me.
I have an MFA in 3D Digital Sculpture.
I no longer mold young minds, by teaching art to high school students, everyday is a safari now...
In my spare time I own and operate an equal opportunity rescue shelter for all makes and models of typewriters that have been abandoned in the bottoms of closets.
No matter how many typewriters I am fortunate to be able to collect, my collection will not be as nice as Herman's...
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Sears Junior on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Sears Serial Number page and the Sears Junior By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
