* Earliest of typewriters
* Christopher Sholes
* Front page print - nice for display


The front page has a 6 1/4 by 6 1/2 inch illus. "Sholes' Type Writer" which shows a woman seated at an early typewriter, plus a diagram of the cylinder and keys, and an article: "The Type Writer".

This is one of the earliest typewriters to be had & very desirable to typewriter collectors as such.Complete in 16 pgs., never bound nor trimmed, small library stamp above the masthead, very nice condition.
