Up for SALE is a 

 ANTIQUE FAY SHOLES  

UNDERSTRIKE TYPEWRITER 

First year of production on FAY-SHOLES typewriters:

1896

Company:

Remington-Sholes Company , Chicago , USA

"Two sons with famous family names were responsible for this monumental typewriter that originally appeared on the market in 1896 as the Remington-Sholes. Indeed, the inventor was Zalman Sholes, son of Christopher Latham Sholes, and the manager was Franklin Remington, son of Remington & Sons, who built the first Sholes & Glidden typewriters.  In 1901 Sholes and Remington were forced to change the name of their company to Fay-Sholes"

I'm not certain of the year OR of the particular model of this typewriter. However, the FAY-SHOLES name  makes if post 1901 (when the company name became Fay Sholes).  The keys all move, but with no ribbon I could not test this.  

I certainly don't claim to be a TYPEWRITER expert. Therefore, anyone with more info please feel free to chime in. 

Without too much more info to gauge a price with, we've decided to place this auction at $2K or best offer.  Please feel free to submit offers!

Email me if you have any other questions or need more pictures.
