I'm sorry for the loss of your home and devastated by the loss of our lovely city. That looks like it was a special machine. The heirlooms are some of the hardest.

It'll still be quite a while until we're back into our house (and my little typewriter workshop), but if you're interested in shaping up a machine to replace that one, I'm happy to help, either out of my own collection or with a careful search for as close a replacement as we can manage. Serial numbers either under the hood or the carriage, if they're readable/available, might help give an exact year for a replacement.
