Description:
I’m not comfortable referring to this as a vintage item, and Made in Holland has to be an extraterrestrial decoy. I’m convinced this machine beamed straight out of the future before falling out of a UFO and into my lap. She could be the official typewriter of the Starship Enterprise. Beyond the eye popping aesthetics - from the spaceship body to the coffee cup keys - she types GREAT, apparently with mechanical origins to the Torpedo 18.

I'm an AP English instructor and poet who has married my processes and passions to these fine, old machines.
