Description:
A friend of mine works in the house clearing business. Typewriters are treated as scrap metal. Before a machine goes to the scrap heap, my friend sends me a picture of it. If I like the typewriter, he’ll put it aside for me.
Needless to say what my reply was in this case.

I live in The Netherlands.
Most common typewriter brands over here are Triumph/Adler, Olympia, Erika, Olivetti, Remington and Brother.
I collect and restore typewriters to learn about their design and to write with them.
