Description:
Don't be fooled by the square corners on this one - she has a gorgeous, curvy typeface called "Venezia" that will make you swoon! She came from our friends Walid and Joujou, otherwise known as "Mr. & Mrs. Vintage Typewriters", in the UK. We've gotten a couple of machines from them, and let me tell you, these folks know how to restore and ship a typewriter. Solid ten out of ten! Normally, I'm all about the curves when it comes to typewriters - I'm a sucker for any machine that looks like it was a '57 Chevy in a former life - but once I saw the typeface on this machine, all other considerations took the last gondola out.

Started with one typewriter in our small cottage, and ended up with over twenty! Transformed a closet into a gothic "typewriterbrary" and it makes a great centerpiece for the house, and an easy way to access all the typewriters for writing letters, journaling, and whatnot, as well as keeping them dust-free in the betweentimes.
