I love collecting and researching portable typewriters. Author of Portable Typewriters, Boxing the Space Needle, and Mid--Century Portable Typewriter Spotter's Guide. I especially enjoy mid-century portables, and those that need a little love. Member of the Lake City Lions since 2014.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Avona Jet on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Avona Serial Number page and the Avona Jet By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
