Description:
Purchased from Habitat ReStore in Champaign, IL approx January 2024. Restored using parts from a broken 44, S/N 281588. Typeface sample mistakenly said "lazy cow." Will update with "dog" eventually.
This is my first restoration.

Just an amateur typewriter enthusiast. I've been wanting to get back into typewriting for journaling and therapy. Initially I was just going to type, but learning to clean/fix/restore them myself has also been great for my mental health.
