Mercantile Typewriter – Understrike

December 8, 2018 By Paul

This Montgomery Ward catalog item was whiling away in eastern Washington for decades. The flat profile 3-bank up-strike machine was made by the American Typewriter Co. produced from 1908 to 1915 under a variety of names.

Recently brought in to be repaired it is missing the spring drum assembly plus endowed with copious amounts of dust and rust. It must have been broken for a very long time as the previous owner rigged up a pull mechanism to help them type.

Not a good candidate for restoration, instead we cleaned it up for display.
