It was $10. I'm just getting into typewriters and had to have it.

There is also the manual and a gift tag.

It seems to work pretty well! Needs oiled it looks like, and the case is sticky.

S/N dates it to 1968, so it was new stock.

I can't find proof the house was ever lifted and a new foundation poured. It's also a huge house that has been neglected for decades.

Was this maybe a coating? I expect a block foundation but don't see signs of that anywhere. The exterior base is coated in concrete.

Plus the floor is poured concrete when I should expect dirt. I included a shot of the sill if that's a helpful indicator.

Any thoughts?

Edit: Yes, I know the Romans had concrete. I'm looking more in the context of early 20th century American use and techniques.

I think it's OK. Let me know what's missing.

Or maybe someone here needs a new display for their front yard.

I've rode it about 25 miles so far with no issues. I was confused because I thought it should have disc brakes but has rim brakes. It also looks like those tires aren't even made anymore.

Theres a Trek store near me, but I haven't rode in 20+ years so I'm a total noob.

Unfortunately the bottom half, with the same design, is seriously damaged. It bows out to the point you can't even open the window.

26 of them in various sizes. They look nice but they're pretty gross. I'm debating just throwing them all away or seeing if a local reclamation company will take them.
