Any ideas what this is? Looks vaguely like an early Remington 17, but has a front-facing tab set key, the ribbon cover looks like a single piece (the Rem 17 has individual little doors over each spool), and those strange circular features on the sides (made me wonder if it had carbon reel earmuffs like the IBMs). 

Here's the auction.

I played around with the nameplate via photo editor and when I squinted just so...I thought I was seeing "Woodstock"...

Got it! I forgot completely about Woodstock (and have never had one). We'll spotted, Pete!
