Description:
This machine was rescued from my parents' basement. It was lucky that I did; it since flooded shortly after I removed it.
I used this machine during the 2015 NaNoWriMo. Although I didn't get very far, it did work just fine and cleaned up nicely as well.

I decided that I wanted to find the one typewriter that I remembered my mom using to type my term papers in school. Even though we couldn't find it, I found that I enjoyed typewriters and started a collection. It extended to rescuing the ones in my parents' basement a week before it flooded.
I enjoy making machines work and especially like to use the Smith Premier typewriters.
