Description:
At a flower shop in Charlotte, NC. Owner is looking to sell it. He's flexible on the price - listed on charlotte.craigslist.org for $150, it'll be there a while.
Totally reconditioned it might fetch $150 on the open market, but it's no where near that in its current state.
Machine is overall in about B- condition.
Powers on.
Electrics seem good.
Main drive belt is intact.
Needs degreasing.
Carriage is good.
Platen is good.
Paint is in good shape.
Has factory power cord.
Could not determine typeface - probably nothing exotic.

I love machines, machining, creating things from nothing. Typewriters have struck a romantic chord in me, thanks to my oldest son, and I am working with him and the rest of our family to acquire, restore, repair many machines.
Our collection grows in fits and spurts - as the seasons change. We make a lot of acquisitions at estate sales, yard and garage sales, thrift stores, online, and through personal connections.
The machines that we don't want to keep in our own collection, we are selling through various outlets - Etsy, Square Market, and eventually on eBay - and unlike some sellers, we KNOW how to pack a machine for shipment! :-)
Brumfield & Sons Typewriters, at your service.
