Beautiful antique typewriters
I fell in love with some of these beautiful antique typewriters. If you’re a sucker for vintage stuff as well, make sure to check out Martins Flickrstream or his website for more information on these amazing pieces. There is even a shop where you can get some prints.

Apr 1st, 2010Hello,
Thank you for sharing my collection with your readers. It always feels great when these remarkable machines excite others.
There is a remarkable collective experience that we have towards typing and a strong nostalgia for the typewriter, as a physical and emotional symbol of writing. It is therefore not surprising that these early typewriters resonate with us today.
Happy typing,
Martin Howard

Wouldn’t you love to get a “hand-typed” letter from someone in the mail? Now that’s a great service someone might try :)
…100% cotton rag paper, with slightly malformed Courier or other slab typeface, over-struck with ever-so-slight variances in keystroke pressure…and a little white out.
