Description:
This very clean cursive model was found in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It is incredibly new/clean condition - even the case is in beautiful shape. It is a fun machine to type on, but the carriage shift seems quite heavy. Maybe there is a fatigued spring involved? The action is ok, but not terrifically light or easy, either. The platen is in great shape, and it has none of the echo or tinny, hollow sound of other portables of the era.
