Description:
I had been looking for a Blickensderfer for many years, when a fellow collector traded this one to me at Herman's typewriter gathering in 2018. It is amazing to me that someone used this DHIATENSOR Blick 5 enough to actually wear out the key legends. It is in pretty good shape, except it is missing the arm for the ink pad. I occasionally use it with carbon paper, even though it is completely impractical.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Blickensderfer 5 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Blickensderfer Serial Number page and the Blickensderfer 5 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
