content: These two printer thimbles for a NEC Spinwriter printer are in their original boxes. The Spinwriter had a one-of-a-kind design for impact printing. It relied on thimbles (similar to an IBM Electric typewrite printer element) instead of the more common "daisy wheel" impact printer mechanism. For the Spinwriter, see 1997.0294.04
