1963 Beaucourt Script Serial # 425854 1963 Beaucourt Script typewriter, Serial # 425854 Mark Schrad's 1963 Beaucourt Script typewriter. 2024-09-12 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mark Schrad: 1963 Beaucourt Script Serial # 425854 This is just gorgeous. Superb. ALL of the superlatives.

This is a 1963 Beaucourt Script typewriter--note that this is the name of the model--it has 10 c.p.i. pica rather than an actual "script" typeface. The Beaucourt Script is essentially the French-made Japy Script, rebadged and rebranded for sale in Great Britain (hence the pound sign). So they're fairly scarce here in the US.

This one was picked up in a lot purchased from a fellow typewriter enthusiast in Wilmington, DE in September, 2024.
