Description:
2026-03-13 Gallery Creation. Another sighting at the New Hampshire Antique Coop in Milford, NH, on Friday, 3/13/2026. This one also has been in the shop for a while. It's in pretty good condition, standard Pica typeface, and comes with the user guide and a touch typing guide. Tempting, but personally speaking, I would want to go lower than the $150 asking price for this one.

My interest in typewriters started in 1997, when I was in graduate school at the University of Georgia. I purchased and read Darryl Rehr's book, joined ETC, and started reaching out to known collectors. I had several email interchanges with Richard Polt dating from that period. I also bought some of my first machines from Bob Aubert, and visited him at his home twice. After marriage and relocation to New England, I continued visiting antique shops and eBay, until other priorities put my typewriter hobby on hiatus around 2008. I still have my collection of around 57 machines, and now I have a renewed interest in getting some of them in good working and cosmetic order.
