Wow, I used to have something similar when I was a kid. Probably should have kept that one!

they're fun and interesting but really have little monetary value. still, i love them - old time writing.

Yea, wouldn't have thought of selling it, I was thinking of the historical significance. Mine was in a black square case, the typewriter was attached to the bottom portion of the case and couldn't be lifted out. You removed the top lid to type. Probably a "portable" - more cumbersome than a laptop!

yes, definitely a 'portable' one! am tempted to buy another one or two, so if i get lucky with finding another workable one, i will do that.
