1968 Western Auto (Brother) Wizard Tabulator Serial # C8908860 1968 Western Auto (Brother) Wizard Tabulator typewriter, Serial # C8908860 Mike Green's 1968 Western Auto (Brother) Wizard Tabulator typewriter. 2023-03-13 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mike Green: 1968 Western Auto (Brother) Wizard Tabulator Serial # C8908860 Not sure where to park this one. Definitely Western Auto Brother. Looks to be the same as a Brother Deluxe 895. A tad larger than their other ultra portables. Early Brothers always seem to work without much rehab and they all share a similar feel; not too refined but sturdy little troopers that can type fast. I like the WA logo for Western Auto and there is something magical about a Wizard.
