Description:
I came across this machine at antique store in NJ one afternoon as we were about to leave, and it came home with me. I've since given it a once-over and cleaned it as best I could without risking paint damage.
This is in reality a Maritsa 12 made by Typewriters Works in Bulgaria badged for Bundy Typewriter out of Philadelphia, which makes sense given where I found it.
Included in the case was a Scotch cleaning cloth, a typewriter cloth for tabletop use, and the original paperwork from the factory in Plovdiv.
Will likely remain in my collection as I probably won't come across another.
