Description:
When your friends, family and colleagues find out you like typewriters, they start leaving them for you like zucchini. This Classic 12 with a French-Canadian keyboard was brought into my wife's work by one of her coworkers, who found it in a dump. Though it seems fine from above, it's badly rusted on the bottom; it seems to have spent some time partly submerged. It may end up being a parts machine if Evapo-rust can't save it.
