Description:
Bought in Edmonton, Alberta in 2026 for $30 CAD. Needed some cleaning, had spacing problems with the escapement. A little difficult to get to but freed up and working well. Nice typewriter, but very basic. No tabs, no sensitivity adjustment and no red. Absolutely beautiful case, vintage tweed.

I rediscovered typewriters about a year ago when I got back my Hermes 3000 from my daughter. I bought it to gift her on the occcasion of her first born. Then it sat for about a decade, I brought it home and have been on it ever since. I've taken up buying them, fixing and cleaning, then gifting them to friends who show an interest. I have to give them away otherwise I'd be a hoarder!
