Description:
Gray, elite typeface. I originally purchased it for someone else; they decided that typewriters weren't for them and then I sold it when trying to pare down. I regret selling this one.

I decided that I wanted to find the one typewriter that I remembered my mom using to type my term papers in school. Even though we couldn't find it, I found that I enjoyed typewriters and started a collection. It extended to rescuing the ones in my parents' basement a week before it flooded.
I enjoy making machines work and especially like to use the Smith Premier typewriters.
