Description:
A very clean example with just a couple of paint scuffs. No yellowed keys!!!!
Is the Valiant the best looking JP-1? You could get a Brother at Gambles, Coast to Coast and many other dept stores. They also sold a Valiant sewing machine during the same time period.

As with many, the bug is back there somewhere due to an Underwood No. 5. My grandfather was on a small town school board and used one for this. My parents had a yellow Royal Safari that I used to index card everything, including a beer can collection. Collection syndrome clue! The long dormant tic was activated when my neighbors left a Remington Quiet Riter on the curb when they moved in circa 2010, Yes a believe it or not story is next, when a Hermes 3000 comes home with the girlfriend from work for free. Yes, free! From there the addiction is full steam. And yes, I now have a No. 5. Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Brother Valiant on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Brother Serial Number page and the Brother Valiant By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
