No. 44 Typewriter of the Day - Speedwriter 235

No. 44: TOTD - Speedwriter 235

Well a new weeks starts and it's time for a new typewriter of the day.  Today's machine is a Speedwriter 235.  I am calling it a 235 since that is the Commodore Model.  This machine is perfect and a time-capsule , almost unused, pristine condition and the case came with even the brushed, cleaning rag and a note on how to unpack it is 6 languages.  I had the machine overhauled by Eustace and put it away without typing on it.  My mistake but I just didn't have time at then.  It is now going in my permanent collection it is so perfect.

Here is a picture for you:


I am not going to look for a writer who used a Speedwriter, it is such a limited issue that they didn't seem to break into the North American or English markets.  I will keep looking.  If you are interested you can find out more on X over it.

Enjoy,

No. 43 - Typewriter of the Day: Remington Travel-riter

No. 43 - TOTD: Remington Travel-riter

It's Sunday and the topics I follow are a quiet.  A solution is to put in another typewriter of the day into the blog.  Remingtons are true workhorses, in particular the Quiet-riters, the other machines in their lines are also interesting.  The Travel-riters are a smaller machine, more portable and probably they were a lot cheaper to purchase.  Today's machine is a later model of the Travel-riter, still all metal and still with the same functions as the earlier machines of the same line including a key with the degree sign and division character; you don't see that key at all on any other machine.  There is no tab function and no paper guide so it is stripped to the basics.  I am keeping this machine in the permanent collection.

Here is a picture.


Looking at the records I cannot find a reference to anyone who uses this model but I will keep looking.  It types very well and seems to be almost unused.
