Description:
This is an unusual typewriter I snagged off shopgoodwill.com. It can be fixed to the bottom half of the leather case. An interesting specimen that apparently saw a lot of use in a previous life, but not a high quality machine. The carriage return is weak, which makes going from line to line difficult. There is no tabulating system or touch control, but the keys have a nice shape.
One odd feature is that you have to set the margins by using two levers in the BACK of the machine.

I am a professional historian and writer. I have been collecting typewriters since 2013, and use them for all of my work (novels, short stories, poetry, non-fiction, and personal letters). I have a passion for all things antique, but hold a special place for these tools. Some of my collection is up for sale or trade, so if you see something you want, let me know!

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Aztec (Erika) 15 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Aztec (Erika) Serial Number page and the Aztec (Erika) 15 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
