189x Daugherty Visible Serial # Unknown 189x Daugherty Visible typewriter, Serial # Unknown Royal Taylor's 189x Daugherty Visible typewriter. 2013-09-24 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Royal Taylor: 189x Daugherty Visible Serial # Unknown We rescued this great old machine from the attic of a home near were it was built! Unfortunately that was 2 years ago and I can't find most of the information on it including the serial number.

However, we do still have the photos!

The plate under the keyboard has patent dates in 1891 and 1892 so our assumption is that this was made during the 1890s.

It was a truly modular machine with the entire keyboard assembly able to be removed by just 2 screws as seen in one of the photos.

Oh, and don't miss the demo video below.

We had a reply from a family member of James Daugherty, the inventor of this great machine. He states that the QWERTY keyboard was made to include the last four letters of the Family name Daugherty. I have ready contrasting opinions on where the QWERTY keyboard came from, but this is his a fun version!

The board was missing the last section but we can get the idea of how this great old machine looked on it with the cover.

I love to get old typewriters working again then pass them on to folks that will use and appreciate them!


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