Description:
If there´s a typewriter that everyone one wants to have AND everyone knows it´s utterly useless, then it has to be the Bennett.
If there´s a typewriter whose mechanics everyone loves AND again everyone knows it´s not going anywhere, then it has to be the Bennett.
So, the Bennett... This specimen is in fairly good condition, but please believe me if I say this stinking typeface sample is the best I´ve managed to squeeze out of this trinket.

The first typewriter I saw was my grandpa´s Olivetti Linea 98 at the office. It was just a curio for me. Then I was given a Nakajima, which I didn´t use and my grandfather took it from me because it was easier to handle than the bulky Linea 98. Now I own that typewriter, and I started a little collection in Valladolid, Spain. The Nakajima, which is "my" typewriter only returned home in 2017, almost 20 years later, when he wanted a better typewriter.
A collection that started small grew into something bigger, a nuisace for my family and a great source of satisfaction for me.
