The black machine features attractive gold pinstriping and has the name “Kathleen Adams” on the front. It comes with its original fitted carrying case and a group of vintage Stenotypy: The Royal Road That Leads to Successful Careers lesson materials published by LaSalle Extension University of Chicago. The paperwork displays copyright dates of 1930, 1935, and 1938.

Included:

LaSalle stenotype/shorthand machine
Original fitted carrying case
Vintage LaSalle Stenotypy lesson papers
Items shown in the photographs

The machine has not been fully tested and is therefore being sold as a vintage collectible. The case’s interior has substantial white spotting or residue that may be mildew and should be carefully cleaned. The exterior handle is heavily worn and peeling. Lesson papers show significant age-related wear.

This would make an interesting collectible for a court reporter, stenographer, legal-office historian, typewriter collector, or vintage office display.
