Description:
I’ve been looking for a Webster 757 since watching JVC’s videos on his Webster a few years back. I’ve never seen a Webster in the wild until today. Not a 757 but an XL-5000 at my favourite place to acquire typewriters, Value Village thrift store for only $15 (2022). This one was in almost perfect condition (missing zipper pull on the case and a slight scrape where the return lever wasn’t lifted).
Updated: 2022-07-06 Grad gift to my daughters best friend.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Webster XL-5000 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Webster Serial Number page and the Webster XL-5000 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
