Description:
This is the oldest typewriter in my collection so far. I have restored it to working condition, it has the original case but is missing the f,j, and q key. This machine is a cool and rare addition to my collection. I would like to thank my mom, dad, and my uncle for getting me this machine for christmas!

I’ve been collecting since about 2014. Have a couple specific categories I’m interested in but really whatever strikes my fancy. I particularly like German, depression era, and early designs.
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.
