Here is a link to a Craigslist ad for a 15 in Ohio:

<https://chillicothe.craigslist.org/atq/d/bainbridge-barn-find-antique-teletype/7388680541.html>

One keycap is missing, the glass is cracked, the platen crank is 
missing, it looks really grungy.  The biggest concern I would have is 
that it is a "barn find".  Barns have mice.  Mice like to build nests in 
whatever is around.

Poster is asking $100 but is asking for offers.  This listing has been 
around for a while.

Usual disclaimers apply: Not mine.  Have no idea who this is. Etc...

73,
Gary
