Description:
Super clean, well cared for 1959 SC Sterling, bought in November of 2025 from Steve in MA, who was the original purchaser. Originally purchased on Wednesday, March 9th, 1960. Came with manual, warranty card, and some correction paper. Action is snappy and smooth - easily the best portable typer I have. Ribbon direction didn't want to change on its own, so that area needed a little cleaning.
Standard Elite typeface (#66)
