Description:
An intersting Script that is somewhere between 12 and 13 cpi. The number "4" on the slugs. A great briefcase case. This machine was toted around a bit and was scratched up some. Most of if compounded out. But the front end didn't like the clamp area of the case. I taped this area off. The white parts were very yellowed, but responded well to UV treatment. Another great Brother brother.

As with many, the bug is back there somewhere due to an Underwood No. 5. My grandfather was on a small town school board and used one for this. My parents had a yellow Royal Safari that I used to index card everything, including a beer can collection. Collection syndrome clue! The long dormant tic was activated when my neighbors left a Remington Quiet Riter on the curb when they moved in circa 2010, Yes a believe it or not story is next, when a Hermes 3000 comes home with the girlfriend from work for free. Yes, free! From there the addiction is full steam. And yes, I now have a No. 5. Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose.
