Description:
Many models of the Simplex were produced which were marketed for children. However the first model was sold as a typewriter for adults. It is not surprising that they decided to target younger typists after the first few years!

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.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Simplex 1 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Simplex Serial Number page and the Simplex 1 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
