This Unda (1921, #1322) is one of the most obscure typewriters in my collection and one of the few models manufactured in Austria. How about that compartment in back? by @typewriterrevolution

3 Underwoods from 1956 designed by Paul Braginetz. I was glad to add the black-and-white one to my collection yesterday, in exchange for a Swissa. by @typewriterrevolution

The Japanese-made Royal Mercury is a good ultraportable that often has yellowed plastic keys. To restore them, apply strong hair lightener (“bleach”); cover with plastic film to slow evaporation; and leave in strong sunshine for a few hours. by @typewriterrevolution

A Crandall story! In 1994, this book turned me into a typewriter fanatic, starting with its cover …

… ten years later, I got a New Model Crandall of my own …

… I decided to try to make a font from its type cylinder or “sleeve” …

… so I inked it and rolled it onto glossy cardboard …

… then used a website that lets you make your own font …

… and offered the Lucien font on my website, where you can download it today …

… I used Lucien in ETCetera when I edited it …

… and now Ben Davidson has made bamboo letterpress type from the font! You can find it at columbiagorgebookarts.com …

… wherever that handsome old devil Lucien S. Crandall is today, he’s grinning. (PS: I know the Maple Leaf Rag is about 15 years too late for the Crandall, but I do love it!) by @typewriterrevolution

I need to work on my alphabetizing skills. Any other updates? It’s great to see typewriters bringing people together for real. by @typewriterrevolution

That Monarch was a little too finicky for its new owner, so we're swapping it for this KMM—complete with cutting-edge features like backspacing! But first, the KMM needs lots of cleaning and adjustments. by @typewriterrevolution
