L.C. Smith Standard #8 – For Sale $225

By

I don't sell too many full size standard typewriters, yet when I do I want them to be like this L.C. Smith Standard #8 from 1934. The decals are a bit washed out and it types very well.

Blickensderfer Number 8 Typewriter

Olympia SM3 Typewriter – For Sale $325

By

This is a nice Olympia SM3 portable typewriter from the year 1959. Too bad about the ginormous scrape on the cover. Otherwise, the machine is in fine condition. The machine features the type face Congress Elite No. 88, 11 cpi. This typeface is one of my favorites. When I see Congress Elite on the page, it makes me smile. Comes with a carrying case. 1483406 For Sale $325   Consign Hemmann … [Read more...]
