Description:
Saw this Graduate at my local thrift store hunting grounds; still had the hardshell plastic case and even some manufacturer insert cards. Looked to be in fantastic condition, but didn't have a chance to plug it in and test it.
Going by the lack of the correction key features that were added later in production, this is a pretty early model.

Somewhere deep in the northwestern Cascade Mountains, deep in the back behind 3D printers, computer parts, vintage airplane artifacts, thousands of books, and some potentially sentient blackberry vines, is a person who has been accused of bearing a suspicious resemblance to Sasquatch but has not yet found precisely who leaked that information.
I did not start collecting typewriters. It just happened. I'm told this is normal, and possibly the result of exposure to typewriter ink. I have promised the smarter half of my marriage that I am not going to get any more typewriters; we're out of room in the house.
...on second thought, I don't really NEED to sleep LYING DOWN, now, do I? That seems like a profligate waste of space...
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Sears Graduate on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Sears Serial Number page and the Sears Graduate By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
