1901 Blickensderfer No.7 Typewriter & Case Serial No#62250 Nice Condition

This Blickensderfer Model number 7 typewriter was manufactured by the Blickensderfer Manufacturing Company of Stamford, Connecticut in, according to the serial No. 62250, 1901. The Blickensderfer was advertised as having one quarter of the parts that other typewriters used, allowing for easier operation, maintenance, and repair. Other features include a tabulator and a scaled with slots for carriage stops. Patents indicated are between 1890 and 1892. The action used their patented “type wheel,” a metal wheel containing all the characters which would rotate and strike the paper to create the inked mark. The type wheel allowed for easier type alignment, less jamming, and an easier way to change type fonts. The simplicity of the Blickensderfer made it portable, and this model had a wooden cover with a leather handle for easy carrying. While QWERTY keyboards could be ordered, by default most Blickensderfer typewriters had the QWERTY keyboard in favor of a “Scientific” keyboard that put the most used letters “D, H, I, A, T, E, N, S, O, and R” on the bottom row nearest the space bar to minimize hand movement.; George C. Blickensderfer founded the Blickensderfer Manufacturing Company in Stamford, Connecticut in 1893. The Blickensderfer Manufacturing Company produced nine different models of typewriters, including an electric typewriter, and operated until George Blickenderfer’s death in 1917. The company was reformed as the Blick Typewriter Company for a few years before the Blickensderfer patents and designs were sold and manufactured by a variety of different companies.

As far as condition, I do know several keys do not work. I am listing this in "as is" condition as I do not know how it operates or if it functions as it should, aside from the five or seven keys not operating.
I am in no way a typewriter expert, so if you have questions, I will attempt to answer them.
