Description:
This Cougar XL has a script typeface, no ribbon color selector (probably because the capital letters are too big), and stripes on the case. I'm guessing late '60s for date of manufacture, but I don't know. It's hard to avoid shadowing on this typewriter. For a numeral 1, type capital letter I.
