Description:
Form marries function in this beautiful typewriter with precision response. This is only the 2nd typewriter I've received by mail, and although the seller packed it meticulously, it did receive a blow that bent the paper release lever on the right. I formed it back into shape and otherwise this machine is in pristine condition and works great. I love the baby blue/black color combo. (This color was poetically named "blue" by the company, according to the manual, but I think it's safe to describe it as baby blue. It was also produced in grey and two blue-and-grey combos). The black case with a red lining is handsomely designed with pockets for the manual and cleaning brushes. The serial number can be found under the left side of the carriage, facing backwards.

I am a librarian, artist, writer, and co-author of the book Desegregation in Northern Virginia Libraries (The History Press, 2023). If I'm working on a book or article for publication, I'm on a computer. However, I use my typewriters to create poems, type-doodles, art, and to write snail mail letters. I find the tactile nature of typing on a manual machine soothing and joyful. Each typewriter seems to have a soul and a story. Currently my collection is centered around midcentury models.
