Description:
International keyboard model, and the newest Brother manual I've ever encountered. Differs very little from the JP-1 of 1968 in build quality and mechanism.
Edit: per some discussion with hunter Mark Adams who has researched advertisements, I'm re-dating this one to 1978 instead of 88. Advertisements show this badging style on the Charger 11 existed between 1976 to 1982.

I am a scoundrel without a cause, and my swank outshines the sun.
I am a casual Typewriter Hunter residing in the sweltering deserts of Arizona with a wife, three cats and about 50 typewriters. My main hunting ground is thrift stores, and I rarely pay more than $10 for a machine. My collection consists mainly of portables with cases, and they stay in the cases unless I am actively using it (usually more than one at a time). I do, however keep a handful of interesting Selectrics, including a Composer and a couple of large Nakajima Electronics to use as daisywheel printers for my vintage laptop collection.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Brother Charger 11 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Brother Serial Number page and the Brother Charger 11 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
