Description:
It runs but ribbon advance and vibrator do not work, so no type sample yet ... 15 inch carriage, as the serial number advertises. Can this 2016 entry really be the first Model D entered in the Typewriter Database?

While I find all of mankind's inventions interesting, I am most enchanted by the human-scale arts and devices, the ones that can be created (and repaired) in a home workshop or studio; the ones that can be understood by looking at them; the ones that do something useful or stir admiration. Typewriters work for me.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the IBM Model D on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the IBM Serial Number page and the IBM Model D By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
