early word processor
Lens: 18-55 Camera: K200D 
Posted By: Erikka, 07-12-2016, 07:18 PM


has been in the family since at least the very early 40's, dunno much about it, model, etc as I've yet to find an actual production stamp on it. the only tale is a list of patents on the back with the latest/newest date being 1927....
leveled up a bit as per suggestion

Very nice photograph, could use a little leveling. I wonder if you were to turn it upside down, you might find a model number or name. I would be interested in having it appraised, for insurance purposes, of course. If it still functions, it could very well be worth some serious dineros. Again, nice photo and thanks so much for sharing.

I think fun could be had using a close up lens and shooting they keys as they come up to strike the page or as they strike the page.

yeah it still works pretty good, I can't get to the actual bottom because I've yet to figure out a way to remove the case, it's secured by these little metal clips, like it slides into the clips and tension then holds it secure but there's no room in the case to try and push the bottom of the thing out of the clips, heh... Yeah I love this old thing and not getting rid of it but maybe if it's worth enough I just might heh

Apparently, Tom Hanks is an avid collector of typewriters like this
