Description:
Becky picked this up at the flea market in Mansfield, CT, summer 2024. We picked it up from Becktoberfest 2024. Not yet assessed - no spools or ribbon. It looks a lot like the Mercury and Companion, but I can't find any other "Dart" models that look like this. It looks just like our Royal SIGNET (link below).

Started collecting in March 2021 when an Olympia SM3 caught my eye at a thrift store. By May 2021, I was up to nine. By September 2021, my husband jumped in to the pool with both feet and our collection grew to 37. Phew. By October 2022 we had 64. In 2023 we began attending and hosting events where we can share our collection with the community and other collectors. We've sold or given away about 21. Good times.
