Typewriters are among the most reasonably priced items for people looking for something new to collect. In fact, typewriter prices printed in the various antique guides vary widely and are usually highly inaccurate.
Collectible typewriters can turn up anywhere.
There is no way of telling how many of these old machines are hidden away in the attics of America. Collectors often comb flea markets, garage sales and antique malls for them, but there's really no pattern on where they can be found. Marco Thorne, of San Diego, CA is trying to put together a list of places where old typewriters are on public display. Please include name of location and owner or manager, address, phone and fax numbers and a brief, general description of the collection including approximate number of items. A postcard would do fine.
