Hi to every one , is my first post in this forum .

After one week of cleaning and grease i restore the machine in working order . The bigest surprise was the date that indicate the manufacture year : 3-1939 , march 1939 . Is any one else arround in the forum that owns a similar machine ??? The machine emboss U.S. miltary Dog Tags .

What an excellent and pleasing device.

In the same category as the SS typewriter, 'Qwerty goes to war'.

For those that haven't seen one, SS typewriter here:
