   this is the machine and its keyboard. it came out of the personal collection Martin Tytell, who's family maintained typewriters in New York City for decades. @textfiles found it when picking up documents from Tytell to add to the internet archive. it was one of 140 typewriters kept across multiple storage shuffles and collection down sizes, so it was special in some way. it came with this little tag attached too which I find fascinating.
