Description:
Seldom seen on this side of the Atlantic! A rough Imperial 50 from the collection of Deborah Phinney of Wilmington, Delaware (September 2026), which despite being cleaned and serviced, still has ribbon-advance issues and missing the screw for the adjusting pallet for the mainspring ratchet. Very frustrating.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Imperial 50 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Imperial Serial Number page and the Imperial 50 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
