Description:
I doub't the SN for Messa carried over to make this a 1976. This is an odd one. Why would Brother need to licence a substandard Messa product? There are 13 US ads from 74-76.
The Messa marathon is complete.

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to any one area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Brother (Messa) XL1010 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Brother (Messa) Serial Number page and the Brother (Messa) XL1010 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
