Description:
This beautiful typewriter was made for only one year before the lawsuit with Corona forced Fox to make a non-folding portable. This beautiful machine cleaned up very nicely and works well.

I started collecting in February 2021 and I now own 50. The oldest is a Caligraph from 1882, the newest is a Smith-Corona Coronet XL from 1970 something. Over the past year I have learned so much about different machines and how they work. Repairing a typewriter that doesn't work is both challenging and very rewarding.
