1945 IBM Electromatic Serial # 0111 92061 DD (including the model and features designations) 1945 IBM Electromatic typewriter, Serial # 0111 92061 DD (including the model and features designations) Lupo Cuore's 1945 IBM Electromatic typewriter. 2022-10-01 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Lupo Cuore: 1945 IBM Electromatic Serial # 0111 92061 DD (including the model and features designations) Found this machine in a huge dingy warehouse in a former mill building in Warwick, RI run by a junk pickup guy - the good stuff goes to his store, the rest to this warehouse, the size of a couple of football fields. One end had a 10 foot tall pile of old weedwhackers and leaf blowers etc, every table was just boxes and miscellaneous piles, and the shelves were partly hidden by boxes on the floor (under the tables too). Just before leaving after fruitless searching all the shelves and tables for an hour, I spotted this in a dark corner hidden behind stereo equipment. The lid was missing. Paid a few bucks and figured it would be parts for my 1946 Electromatic, but after a little work and some patience, I got her typing. Still needs some more detail cleaning but this is hella cleaner than it was when I got it home. I'd steal the lid from the 1946 but that year they started stamping IBM on the lid, and based on the details here, they didn't do that on the 1945. No pictured ones to prove this here as this is the first 1945 but for now the lid stays on the other one. I'm thrilled to save this one from the road to oblivion it was on, even without the lid. Now I just gotta get around to working on the 1946! :D

Points: 753

New collector with a penchant for offbeat models/brands and, conversely, the mundane models many overlook, if I have a personal connection or just find them interesting. Finding that collecting typewriters is like eating potato chips, you can't have just one! Also restorer of mechanical calcs, Vintage audio, and vintage computers.


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