These early typewriters, allow one to see and explore the workings of a machine, that we can still make a connection with as to its function. I have publicly displayed typewriters from my collection on various occasions and have always been so pleased to see young children take their parents by the hand, over to the display case, to check out the neat but recognizable machines together. Thanks again for sharing my collection.

I think a component of the nostalgia is a longing for 'legible things'--the complete working of the mechanics of several of the index-style typewriters are apparent just from a photograph...something which cannot be said of our electronic digital tools. …and thanks for stopping by.

It always feels great when others get excited by these remarkable machines too. 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 (Toronto) Hello,
