19XX Nakajima ALL 3000 Serial # 38113481 19XX Nakajima ALL 3000 typewriter, Serial # 38113481 James Gifford's 19XX Nakajima ALL 3000 typewriter. 2017-11-25 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of James Gifford: 19XX Nakajima ALL 3000 Serial # 38113481 Picked this up from a picker I know. A curious machine. A Nakajimi 3000, as it shows on the plate on the back, ALL on the front, as with some other machines on here. Metal body prone to rust. Nice low profile. The chin is bent symmetrically, which is odd. It's a solid piece so I'm not sure why that is. The case reminds me a lot of the Adler Tippa S cases with the push buttons. The blue colour reminds me of some later Imperials I've seen. A decent little typer, definitely worth buying.

Hard to tell if the chin is bent this way on purpose. It's solid, not pushed in, and weirdly symmetrical.

Very similar to the cases for the Tippa S's I've had.

I am a writer and book editor as well as a collector of typewriters. It started with an Hermes 3000 desktop, which I stupidly sold last year, but now another sits on my desk for typing envelopes with a beautiful sans serif typeface. I type every day on different machines in my collection, which stands at about 60 at the moment. Favourites include my two 3000s, a 1930s Smith-Corona Silent, the Olivetti Studio 44 (red case), and a crinkle, chrome-encircled Royal Quiet Deluxe. I have also been finding very inexpensive Royal 10s of late; I currently own three, two from the 1910s and the other a later model, and another (1931) I sold to a friend at cost for his son, who appreciates vintage things. I am always on the lookout for new and interesting machines and often trade or sell to try new models. Living and working in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.



RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Nakajima ALL 3000 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Nakajima ALL Serial Number page and the Nakajima ALL 3000 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
