Not sure the model number, but here is a beautiful Blickensderfer, designed by George C. Blickensderfer, of Connecticut. His typewriters were much smaller and lighter than other typewriters, made of 250 parts compared with 2,500 for standard models. He also used the DHIATENSOR keyboard layout (not QWERTY) to avoid typebar jamming. Blickensderfer made the first aluminum typewriter, as well as the first electric one (see wikipedia). I’m not sure which model is shown here, via Design Observer:

I would like to purchase a typewriter like this one. Could you help me out with this?
Hi Adam, I am afraid that I know nothing about buying & selling such machines. Good luck though.
i have an old underwood tipewriter,and the type bar is blocked…i veriffied the springs,the mecanism,nothin looks wrong,there’s absolutely no rust.
i worked great a time,but now,how i said,it’s stuck.
