Do you see a correction film option on this typewriter?

Does that typewriter have a white-out option I am not seeing?

Nope. That is your basic “roll up the paper, use the white-out, blow to dry, wait, wait a bit longer, roll back down and try to type on exactly the same line to fix” typewriter.
This typewriter was manufactured before white-out or correction film was invented…
On a side note. Old typewriters are really awesome- I have two of them. However be sure the model you get still has replacement ink ribbons available to buy.
Out of curiosity what will you be using it for?
I love the sound of an old typewriter.
I don’t see that option. Dog, before white out, there was erasable bond paper that was coated with some chemical. You’d roll up and erase the mistake. This is all stuff I haven’t thought about in years.
I think the correction film came along with Selectric typewriters, which had a plastic film ribbon. Before that, typewriters had fabric ribbons and your options for erasing were an eraser pencil or white-out (which was invented by Bette Nesmith Graham, mother of Mike Nesmith of the Monkees).
