Description:
The Jewett is a very fine quality machine. Being an understrike typewriter, one lifts up the carriage to look underneath to see what has been typed. With no shift key in the design, each key has just one character. A double keyboard is required.

I am a collector of 19th century typewriters and have built a collection that shows the remarkable ingenuity and beauty of the world's first typewriters. I have always been interested in the beginnings of a machine when there is an eruption of approaches to making it. Early typewriters are an exceptional example of this incubation period.
