Description:
Found at Goodwill for $6 in Staunton, Virginia. I didn't intend to keep it until I tried typing on it and fell in love with the space-movie zipping sound of the carriage return and also discovered I do enjoy writing on it. It is probably my largest typewriter and storing it does suck. But these are cool, and if you want a well rounded typewriter collection I think it is important to check these modern machines out.
