Description:
The first generation Caravelle. By the ads, these were a very short run model. They run from late 65 to late 66 and then they are onto the more commonly seen second gen machines. This one is a low SN, so I am going with 1965. JC Penney registered the name with the patent office on Aug 24, 1964
This one needs a UV treatment for the yellowing. I am using a later style SC case for it.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
