1968 Montgomery Ward Signature 300T Serial # K8179939 1968 Montgomery Ward Signature 300T typewriter, Serial # K8179939 James Grooms's 1968 Montgomery Ward Signature 300T typewriter. 2026-02-25 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of James Grooms: 1968 Montgomery Ward Signature 300T Serial # K8179939 I thought this one was rusty internally, but it was something spilled into it that, for the most part, cleaned up. The platen was cracked, which is unusual for a Brother. By the UV damage on the cover, maybe it was left closed up, and excess heat damaged it? A good one from a beater parts machine to the rescue!

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
