Sold: October 2026
Accidentally won the auction on SGW, sat for a few months in my closet and decided to sell it because I would rather someone enjoy it than it sit there never being used because I was dumb and put a bid when I really shouldn't have lol.
Was at one point serviced by Darwin a few decades ago which is really cool. Never had a machine from him before this, but doesn't truly count as it was neglected for a long time before it got to me.

Started collecting in March 2025. Have had quite a few machines so far, but trying to keep limit to specific machines so I don't have too many. Currently have ~20-30
My current collection goal is to own all cubic typefaces, with the limitation that each must be on a different model. Just to keep things interesting so everything has its' own place in the collection. I also have a few others that I just wanted to own, so not everything is cubic. Edit: Well not all cubics, over time I have learned that even with all of the ones I own, there are at least another 8 minimum and I don't have the space for more sadly. So cutting it off early sadly.
