Description:
Found on craigslist in the New River Valley of Virginia for $8. This machine is a little clunky but the action is crisp and the printed word produced on it is very clear and satisfying. The keys on these machines are tiny, and my leather case is falling apart, but for the price I cannot argue. And modern Monarchs are supposedly fairly rare... Made in France.
Sold to make room. It was a good machine but saw little use. Hopefully it will be more loved in its new home.

I am an aspiring novelist and avid typewriter enthusiast from the New River Valley in Virginia. I am a proud Virginia Tech graduate with an education in creative writing. I use typewriters for all my writing and am working on a novel. I also do street poetry. I often can be found writing on one of my machines in downtown Blacksburg and enjoying a drink.
