Description:
Purchased for $10 on Facebook Marketplace. Wound up working perfectly, just needed some elbow grease to look its best. Not a perfect body - has nicks and some minor rusting - but a great deal for my first typewriter.

I am quite new to the typewriter world (first bought 6/2023), but I sort of jumped right in with three typewriters in my first week. I am interested in the mechanics of manual typewriters, as well as have an affinity for cleaning up long-forgotten gems. I'm a Smith-Corona fiend, but any nice typewriter will do!
