1932 Adler Mod. 32 431224

I tried cleaning the plastic panel inside as best I could, but two of the screws were the most impossible ones I've tried to unscrew! They're a bit mangled so somebody has tried before. 2 applications of liquid wrench haven't helped.

This Adler is actually a Triumph in disguise. It has a separate serial number series from the Triumphs, and I believe it was manufactured by Adler with the Triumph design, rather than being made by Triumph and badged as an Adler. Either way, this body style is specific to Adler.

Better than a Corona Four, but not necessarily better than a Royal Model OT or Underwood Portable.

Why so many SM3s?

My favorite dealer decal ever! And positioned nicely, too. On the back so I only have to look at it if I want to. This spent its whole life in Long Beach until it reached me.

I should say that my comment about italic typefaces isn't completely correct. Italic, as handwriting, was first used to save space. It continued that in it's typeface form until it became used for emphasis only. Also, the other obvious reason I have so many--because they're amazing to use!
