Description:
I know "Sovereign Compact" sounds like a euphemism for Thomas Hobbes' notion of a social contract, but its actually more akin to Rousseau and Clausewitz and the origins of modern treaty law. What was I talking about? Oh! It is also the name given for this seldom-seen Japanese Silver-Seiko typewriter from the 1970s. This came in a lot from an occasional collector in Royersford, PA in October, 2023.
