good typewriter day

I don't get to type on it, but I can fiddle with it and it seems to be in excellent condition.  "It" is an Antares Parva, $7.99 at Goodwill. I saw that case and thought, "Is this the Hermes Baby I've been seeking?" It wasn't, but I'm well satisfied.  The serial no. is A-01830.  I'm having trouble finding a number that low on TW-DB, so I'm asking the typosphere and the Yahoo groups about it.

red/green keys - it's like Christmas!
