With the 2015 NaNoWrimo adventure winding down to its last 48 hours, it seemed a good time to post a run of images I took over the course of the year. These are various typewriters I found for sale in local antique stores. I only bought one (the Lettera 33) as it is the only machine I really still wanted. The others were just fun to see.
I've stopped actively collecting these lovely mechanical creatures and have sold or given away most of the 25 machines I so happily amassed. The ones I've kept are older models which I still enjoy using on a semi-regular basis.
If you are local, the two places these machines were found are Antiques on Pierce (formally Antiques on Second) and the Riverview Antique Market. As these images were taken in late Spring, it is highly unlikely that any of these machines are still available.
