Description:
Lightweight plastic-bodied typewriter has full tabulator. Like many Larks and similar Quiet Deluxe Dutch-made machines, springs to hold ribbon cover in place were missing because plastic “finger” on each side had broken off — but was able to repair..

I have collected typewriters since the early 1970s. My first collectible machine was a Mignon, but I also had everyday typers then, first a Voss ST-24 and an Olivetti Praxis 48, and then a Hermes 3000 and a Hermes 10. Over the last decade or so, I've turned my focus from early machines (Lambert, Blickensderfer, Hammond, Smith-Premier, etc.) to portables.
Besides typewriters, I also collect staplers and other paper fasteners. In addition, I am a Studebaker car enthusiast, and have had a 1964 Studebaker GT Hawk since 1979.
