Description:
Despite the plastic body, I've wanted one of these for a while since they share internals with the Torpedo portable. This one came up for a reasonable price locally, so I picked it up. The type action is crisp and confident; I really like it. Even with the plastic body, it's a pretty heavy typewriter.

I "accidentally" started collecting typwriters in the fall of 2020. After my daughter got one cheap at a junk shop, and hearing that she intended to use it to write some old fashioned snail-mail letters to friends, I decided to get "a" typewriter myself to do the same. The first one was a real lucky break: a pristine 1950 Smith-Corona Sterling in perfect condition. From there I got interested in other brands and in refurbishing dirty and forgotten machines. I've had 65+ typewriters at this point, passing many along to excited new owners to keep my collection hovering around 20 machines.
