Description:
Purchased on 8/13/2011 at an estate auction for $15. It came with a cleaning kit, three fonts, a typewriter stand, and felt pad.
Her name is Bluebell and she is, hands-down, my favorite electric typewriter. I now own 11 different fonts for her.

I've been collecting typewriters since 2010. I currently have 100+ machines in my possession. A little over half of them reside in my "personal" collection, while the rest are machines I intend to clean up for sale, or are long-term restoration projects (I'm looking at you, Olivers and Foxes!).
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the IBM Selectric II on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the IBM Serial Number page and the IBM Selectric II By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
