An Accomack County Court Typewriter Was Found

This early-twentieth-century typewriter was found in the attic of the Accomack County clerk's office in May 1996. The machine was specially made to hold the oversized pages then used for legal documents, such as deeds and wills, that were to be bound into volumes.
