Description:
Spotted but not purchased at the Alamed Point Antiques Flea Market on the runway in Alameda, CA. I didn't want to spend that much on a machine that I would rarely type on. Appeared to be in perfect order. I'm not very familiar with Hammond, but this one stopped me in my tracks.
Not sure if the model is correct. Snapped a few pictures whilst trying to haggle the price to something I could justify. The case seems to have it's own number 152.

Occasional typewriter user and 'variety accumulator' but not a serious collector.
My first typewriter was a SCM Galaxie/Classic that I bought at a thrift store in Middle School. Taught myself how to use it without the manual. Used it for school work that needed to be entered into print-outs. I liked the machine, although it is heavy, but I always hated the case.
Recently, something awakened in me and I have been finding a few modest projects and interesting machines to try manual typing again.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Hammond Multiplex on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Hammond Serial Number page and the Hammond Multiplex By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
