22 year old Dutch collector. Interested in any era of typewriters except for most post 1980's machines.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Williams 2 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Williams Serial Number page and the Williams 2 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
