Antique & Vintage Typewriters.
Please note that these are fascinating pieces of mechanical history, ranging from 50 to 130 years old. Each typewriter is offered as a working example, having undergone rigorous testing before being carefully packaged for shipment.
We leave a test report within each typewriter as evidence of its approved working condition. Additionally, to ensure the utmost protection, we fully stabilize the typewriter, preventing any movement in the delicate mechanism during transport.
The shipping of desktop typewriters involves higher costs due to their substantial weight, often ranging between 35 to 45 pounds, and the need for larger packaging. Rest assured, though, the investment in shipping guarantees that your typewriter will be delivered to you safely and intact.
