Description:
Acquired from a seller located in La Verne, CA via Facebook Marketplace. I was able to negotiate a lower price with the seller which allowed me to pick up my fourth typewriter for $40.
During a short conversation with the seller, it turns out that she's planning to move out of state and decided that the typewriter would be too large for the move out. In gathering additional information about the typewriter, the seller further reported that she first bought the typewriter as decoration from an antique store in Monrovia, CA.
As it was previously serving as decoration, this typewriter had accumulated layers of dust and what seems to be large globs of pet hair. After a few days of light disassembly and cleaning, I found that the platten was in unusually good shape for being almost a century old. There are no signs of rust and even its rubber feet still had some texture. It's possible that the typewriter was refurbished before the previous owner purchased it from the antique store in Monrovia.
It's a wonderful machine that is both the oldest in my collection and the most "silent". The type bars are more complicated in design but it allows it to tap the platten with a soft thud compared to the slapping sounds that my Suburbanite would make. However, the design of the chrome paper fingers would cause them to catch on parts of the ribbon vibrator when moving the carriage from left to right. This tends to happen with the right paper finger which often gets shoved past the edge of the platten during writing.
It has a great 1930s aesthetic that's consisitent throughout the exterior of the machine but it does have some quirky design aspects which makes for an interesting typing experience. For the time being, its days of being a decor piece is done as its back to typing again.

Amateur typewriter hunter and ASW with a small collection of typewriters here in Southern California. My modest collection began around 2014 when I bought a Royal Futura 800 at an estate sale with the measly $20 I had in my pocket.
Seeing the dazzling Americana Futura 800 for the first time paled in comparison to my earliest memories of an electric Brother typewriter that my mom practiced on in the late 90s. I'm forever thankful to the lady that let me buy my first typewriter, the Futura 800, as it has sparked my interest in mid century typewriters. For the time being, I've found a warm sense of comfort in using my typewriters for journaling and letting some clients in my work use it so that they can experience the unique joy of using a typewriter for themselves.
If I find a typewriter in the wild, I'll certainly record and upload it here. In that regard, at least these machines can be saved in a small way for both new and old typewriter enthusiasts.
