A quick review of online typewriter communities. July 2, 2015. And there’s surprisingly a lot of people on and offline to talk to. I send letters all over the world (yes, I realise I’m like… really far behind guys. You WILL get letters soon) and as all walks of life enjoy sitting behind a keyboard, dancing with their fingers on lettered up thingies, there’s often all kinds of interesting stories to be found online and great people to meet.

For the love of the Remington J typewriter. (J is for Junior). No, you haven’t misread the nameplate. It isn’t missing any characters or been badly labeled when a label may have been re-applied. This is a Remington J – which is known in the USA as the Remington Junior. Why? Well, we’ll get to that in a moment. My collecting has taken a bit of an…. June 4, 2015. Joshua Beta (JoshBet….

On the packing bench – The Stott L1 Typewriter. May 24, 2015. The Stott L1 typewriter. John knows the former workshop manager of Stott, and I feel that his collection would be a more more appreciative home for this machine. I also think it suits his collection better, as he has a great series of mid-centry machines that this ,machine will fit nicely with – including some genuinely rare electrical machines from that era. The frame has some interesting design features, while the mechanical side of this mac...

When I first spotted this machine on Gumtree here in Australia, the seller was asking a whopping $25,000 for it. The price was so absurd that I snapped a photo from the Gumtree site and….
