This was my grandmother's.
She typed away on her job at the State of Indiana on this beaut.
I've since passed it on to my daughter-in-law who collects oldies, but goodies. I'm not sure if one can even buy the ribbon for this anymore. I do remember typing on it as a kid, though and my 5 year old grandson loves to play on it. Go figure.
