1969 Facit 1620 Serial # P648098 1969 Facit 1620 typewriter, Serial # P648098 LaDonna Qualtieri's 1969 Facit 1620 typewriter. 2024-12-08 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of LaDonna Qualtieri: 1969 Facit 1620 Serial # P648098 Just arrived today from a seller in WA, who purchased it restored from Pacific Typewriters in PDX earlier this year. Types easily and springy. The typeface is really cool. If anyone knows the “official” name of it please comment. The case alone is a stunning cream and brown in great condition. Has all the original manuals, brushes, and the rolling eraser brush tool. I can’t get out to shops so I’m especially thrilled when a machine this nice comes my way for a good price! The seller wrapped the whole machine in cling wrap plus added packaging inside the case, used bubble wrap instead of those useless air pillows. A little communication goes a long way! This machine now belongs to HAZEL.

I have many pen pals and correspond via handwritten and typed letters. I have a (painful) sitting disability and type while standing- UPDATE! I can also type on an ultraportable I set up on my bed. Typing and collecting machines with different typefaces keeps me busy and happily distracted from the difficulties in life-fountain pens, too, and I can write legibly, in cursive, while laying down. Join me on Type Pals and register for the monthly postcard exchanges. The “Cat Mews” is a quarterly publication of the philatelic topical group Cats On Stamps Study Unit (COSSU), for which I am a column contributor. My cats are Wiffle Wizard and Urushi (Rushi) Blizzard, aka the Blizzard Sisters.
