My 2013 Christmas Present. I picked it out at Tom Furrier’s shop in Arlington last year. Royal Deluxe O Model circa 1936.

I finally caved and bought a second one off ebay this month. It was a lot less expensive, but required a couple of hours of Q-tip cleaning to remove years of nicotine and tar from the body and keys. Hermes Media 3 approx. 1958.
