Description:
Purchased online with the original box and instructions. I thought this would make a fun addition to a library display of typewriters I'm working on that happens to fall during the holidays. Currently, the toy machine spaces too much between letters and has some other quirks, but it's pretty amazing the original ribbon still has ink in it.

I am a librarian, artist, writer, and co-author of the book Desegregation in Northern Virginia Libraries (The History Press, 2023). If I'm working on a book or article for publication, I'm on a computer. However, I use my typewriters to create poems, type-doodles, art, and to write snail mail letters. I find the tactile nature of typing on a manual machine soothing and joyful. Each vintage typewriter has a soul and a story. Currently my collection is centered around midcentury models.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Sears Holiday on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Sears Serial Number page and the Sears Holiday By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
