1966 Brother Opus 888 Serial # Unknown 1966 Brother Opus 888 typewriter, Serial # Unknown Plante and Doole-Fisher Typewriters's 1966 Brother Opus 888 typewriter. 2018-04-22 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Plante and Doole-Fisher Typewriters: 1966 Brother Opus 888 Serial # Unknown As part of an influx of Japanese-made domestic goods entered the North America market, Brother managed to capture a good potion of the portables market, especially on the ultralight end of the scale, a market where U.S. and European makers were starting to slip. To this day, these machines can be found in conditions ranging from basically destroyed to impeccable. This falls under the latter category. It is, however, utterly unremarkable. As far as reliable machines go, few surpass it for functional quality. This gallery is to be updated with a serial number and a typeface specimen in the future.
