Description:
Acquired with a lot of 16 typewriter this one was one of the funkier. I had trouble reading the letters to make out "Wizard" and started laughing that these things were marketed through Western Auto as I remember them as a kid. Typewriter is in mint condition.

First hunt and pecked on a 60's Smith Corona Sterling my mother had and Took typing class in 1982 on an IBM Selectric as a means to get into the computer class my sophomore year. Probably reached 60wpm. Once I moved over to computers I never really went back to typewriters, but 40 years later I find myself enjoying the sound, feel, and smell of a now-vintage Selectric 2 and just picked up a 1955 Silent Super. We'll see how far down the rabbit hole I go....
