Description:
Purchased from France via Etsy, this tomato red Brother has Cubic typeface and a French layout keyboard. Arrived in perfect condition, from all the way across the pond. Mechanically sound, except for the "%/ù" key which the seller informed did not work.
Very sturdy and has been my go-to travel typewriter. Though a little loud and clunky to type on, I just love this little guy. He survived international shipping!

Mid-30s in Auburn, Washington USA. My main hobby is getting and sending mail: I do Postcrossing and penpal letters, so along with that I enjoy going to thrift stores, doing paper & collage art, and collecting & using stationery items of all kinds. I do a lot of reading and journal writing, weird documentary & movie watching, and sewing when I have the time.
I use the machines almost daily, for personal correspondence and creative writing attempts. I look for typewriters with unique typefaces, and I have a modest variety of brands.
