Not the sort of grab I’d make at that price, but had to snap some sightings photos and get the serial number. 1934 Woodstock 5, with a great old “Robert E DeBarth” dealer sticker, and that guy is still around recovering platens and doing repairs! :D

What a great old decal. And I think the price on the Woodstock is not bad!
What a grand old machine. I would have been sorely tempted if that showed up at my Goodwill.
Great price on the Woodstock. Neat to get a lable that old from one of the few typewriter repairmen still in business and still recovering platens and making parts.
I would have snapped that up in a New York minute!
Ah! Such a peculiar looking machine. Like cameron, I would have snapped it up at a moment’s notice.
Yeah, I felt a little bad about passing it up, but I just got no more room for standards. /:
Great find! I’ve had Mr. DeBarth recover a platen on a 20’s Royal 10 recently. He is a super guy and knows a thing or two. I’m currently going to look at an old Woodstock that has the phoenix emblem. Is there a story on why the emblem was dropped? I seem to recall a mention to it’s similarity to the eagle used by the German Nationalist Party gaining foothold at the time; and Woodstock didn’t want the appearance of similarity in the public mind. Truth or not?
no idea :D
