Description:
This machine was given to me by my father in-law. It came from a legacy system in a business in Bangkok, Thailand. The stickers on the front are two different typewriter service companies and a label under the service sticker centered reads in Thai, From Debiting Accounts. The carriage is over 80cm wide and the platen is 64cm wide. The script is English. My father in-law still has the twin of this machine, which has a Thai script, in his junk collection.

I didn't intend to become a typewriter collector, but the collecting seemed to just expand to typewriters. Would you believe that it started with straight razors. Now I have ten. My desire for more typewriters exceeds the availablity and the space to store them.
