1996 Brother AX-310 Serial # F68220191 1996 Brother AX-310 typewriter, Serial # F68220191 Javier Vazquez del Olmo's 1996 Brother AX-310 typewriter. 2022-09-04 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Javier Vazquez del Olmo: 1996 Brother AX-310 Serial # F68220191 This has to be one of the latest, if not THE latest, typewriters in my collection. Typewriters from this time sound a lot like an anachronism to me, but then again I have to remind myself that the first typewriter I had was a 1994 Nakajima 8000, brand new and fresh from the box.

A donation from a childhood friend, he had no use for it since... I bet since the first day this thing popped up at his home, and now that he has children this thing had to go. Big thanks, Ander! This machine is what one can expect from small wedges... not much typewriting-wise, but a welcome new member of the family nevertheless. It's surprisingly light, slow for a daisywheel typewriter and I'd dare say eye-catching for all the wrong reasons. But it's also good to have some representation of this period of typewriter history.

Fun fact: this typeface sample makes number 10.000 here at the TWDB. My most sincere thanks to everybody that make this website what it is now. I have learned A LOT here!

The first typewriter I saw was my grandpa´s Olivetti Linea 98 at the office. It was just a curio for me. Then I was given a Nakajima, which I didn´t use and my grandfather took it from me because it was easier to handle than the bulky Linea 98. Now I own that typewriter, and I started a little collection in Valladolid, Spain. The Nakajima, which is "my" typewriter only returned home in 2017, almost 20 years later, when he wanted a better typewriter.

A collection that started small grew into something bigger, a nuisace for my family and a great source of satisfaction for me.
