1962 Consul 232 Serial # 2232110162 1962 Consul 232 typewriter, Serial # 2232110162 Chris Silker's 1962 Consul 232 typewriter. 2018-10-29 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Chris Silker: 1962 Consul 232 Serial # 2232110162 Purchased at Darling Amalgamated Retail Emporium for $25 on 10/28/2018 in non-working condition. The case is so mildewy it may not be salvageable.

A bit confused about what model it is. It sure as heck LOOKS like every 232 out there, but based on the serial number, it should be a 531 maybe?!

10/29/2018: What I initially thought was the serial number is just a part number of some sort (1531-10-102 F-1870/1) - it's on the inside of the cover. The actual serial number is on the frame inside.
