Description:
This little machine came up at auction with a lot of toys, and I scooped it up just to see if it would type. It is barely a typewriter. Nearly all plastic and block caps, with a very tight mechanism. Still, interesting little find.

I have been collecting typewriters all my life, starting with a 1980's Brother Charger 11 (which I no longer have, but have replaced with an identical machine). I have well over 60 typewriters now, with a few rare portables. Some are interesting or odd, but most of mine are common machines.
My wife and I have made a deal, that I can keep buying typewriters if she can keep buying shoes. Fair enough! *shrugs*
