The Masspro typewriter is a rare piece of New York history. Produced for only a few months in 1932 by the (ahead of its time) company named Mass Production.
This three-bank typewriter was produced as an easily affordable portable typewriter for the people. There were less than 2000 typewriters produced as the company became a victim of the depression and lack of sales.
Serial numbers ran from 001000 – 003000 and this typewriter is number 002105. There are only a few of these typewriters still around, and even fewer in working condition.
If you are looking for a fantastic piece of typewriter history, this is certainly a typewriter to consider.
