Description:
Nice little machine that had a few sticky keys before I took it to Ace in Portland. Matt did a great job as usual. We had a Western Auto store where I grew up. It was fun learning that little tidbit of info. The “H” looked like an “R” at first, but that didn’t make sense after looking up how the serial numbers work. Gifted to a very special friend October 2023.

I have many pen pals and correspond via handwritten and typed letters. I have a (painful) sitting disability and type while standing- UPDATE! I can also type on an ultraportable I set up on my bed. Typing and collecting machines with different typefaces keeps me busy and happily distracted from the difficulties in life-fountain pens, too, and I can write legibly, in cursive, while laying down. Join me on Type Pals and register for the monthly postcard exchanges. The “Cat Mews” is a quarterly publication of the philatelic topical group Cats On Stamps Study Unit (COSSU), for which I am a column contributor. My cats are Wiffle Wizard and Urushi (Rushi) Blizzard, aka the Blizzard Sisters.
