Is this an early Commodore typewriter? I have a portable typewriter branded "President". I have reason to think this may be one of the Czech typewriters Commodore built under license in the late Fifties, in Toronto (which is where I live). Any information, links, or clues would be appreciated.

Sounds to me like it is. Do you have a photo of it?

Happy New Year!

Here is the first photo of the President typewriter, possible an early Commodore.

Oh, those photos are very nice. That typewriter's construction reminds me of the construction of my Commodore adding machine.
