I am an avid typewriter enthusiast with currently over one hundred (100) typewriters in my collection (and growing). I am a proud TWDB Patron. I have also collected vintage briefcases (mostly Hartmann) Movie Cameras (8mm & 16mm) and many Fountain Pens. I am the author of the novella 'Killer on the Canvas'. I am also a big Don Quixote fan. I make my home in Southern California.
My Typewriter manufacture dates currently range from 1883 to 1996.


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