It is said that this is more than 80 years old. This is so old, even the logo is faintly visible.

This should be the Imperial 50 - introduced in 1927. Product of England.

The husband sent this for restoration and I am guessing he is more excited than I. The process of hiding his finds and the thrill of having me guessing all sorts of wrong gifts; that must made him happy. pfft

When first found, it's rusting quite badly.

The husband had been keeping a look out for an old typewriter because I seem to love all things old, and I truly have a soft spot for typewriters.

I am trained in the most formal manner in manuscript, the only thing here is.. I used electronic typewriter!

Love love love this!

The key punches are 'floating'.

I honestly don't know how to fully operate this machine. Need a manual please!
