1961 Imperial Good Companion 6 Serial # 6F 109 1961 Imperial Good Companion 6 typewriter, Serial # 6F 109 Andy Dale's 1961 Imperial Good Companion 6 typewriter. 2023-03-05 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Andy Dale: 1961 Imperial Good Companion 6 Serial # 6F 109 I bought this locally from an on-line seller here in Nova Scotia, however Woodward department stores were only located in western Canada, in Alberta and British Columbia. I was hoping the presence of a 1 key might indicate an unusual typeface as the standard GC6 didn't have one, but it's a regular pica font so the 1 key must just be something specified by Woodward to differentiate their version of the machine and to tease modern day collectors.
