My New Toy: ’50s or 60s Typewriter

I rolled out of bed this morning and the first thing my father says is to get dressed so we can go look at the garage sale. So, I do because you never know what you’re going to find and the sun felt real nice on our skin. I comb through some of their “junk” then I find this baby:

It’s a Brother Charger 11 from some time around the 1950s or 1960s. I can’t find an exact date. I wanted it so bad. I had to have it. The sticker price was $10 but the kid selling dropped it to $5 because, well, I really wanted it and I was their neighbors. But then my sweet brother bought it for me instead, because my birthday is Monday!
