Description:
The logo and colors for the Tower seem to fit better into late 1950's style than the more restrained Skyriters.

As a youth in the mid '70s I sometimes purchased old manual typewriters for a buck or two at thrift stores, fixed them up, and donated them back to the same thrift store. My interest in typewriters was rekindled during covid when I discovered a Royal Model P in a resale store. I work on typewriters during the cold winter months.
