Description:
Currently my only "specialized" machine, in that it features a wide carriage. Otherwise functionally identical to my Sears/Brother Portable, it features a solid chassis with snappy key action, and an eye-pleasing external housing reminiscent of a 1970s Cadillac. While less "solid" than my workhorses, it's a fun and appealing typewriter.

An old soul in an even older body. Lifelong writer who started on a typewriter, forgot that they existed when computers came on the scene, and then rediscovered their utility (and blessed simplicity!) as a Weapon of Mass Creation. Have owned 10+ but am now limiting myself to 5 machines at a time, and committing to actually using them on a daily, weekly, or (at worst) monthly basis.
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.
