I was surprised by the nice machines they had for sale for very reasonable prices. All machines were in working order (of course! Back than, they were made to last forever). I had the chance to fiddle and play with each of them, which made me happy. As space is limited, I didn't buy one, but I had one aesthetic favorite (the Everest) and one functional favorite (the Japy). Which one would you chose? For international comparation; 1 euro is currently 1,07 dollar. All machines are for sale at Wawollie, in Maarssen, The Netherlands.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxEL2tT7UXX28Cgf0vvDJM0ogW_2B0CE1yNktnaWnsTEW4Ht4UY3iJjk9fgy0KzcIIFAKpfiuJr9OR7z3jAje8xhi4MRl3OLU8d9wr6UH2ovH1yHMLksuZZowIMZ0CSlN_vnEywFnutshO6HLGSiON8vK5-mw_7oVZvrxARpBXla8_SiPdag/s4640/IMG_20230312_170513.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3472" data-original-width="4640" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxEL2tT7UXX28Cgf0vvDJM0ogW_2B0CE1yNktnaWnsTEW4Ht4UY3iJjk9fgy0KzcIIFAKpfiuJr9OR7z3jAje8xhi4MRl3OLU8d9wr6UH2ovH1yHMLksuZZowIMZ0CSlN_vnEywFnutshO6HLGSiON8vK5-mw_7oVZvrxARpBXla8_SiPdag/s320/IMG_20230312_170513.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The first one is a Hermes Standard 6, azerty, sn 562041, made in 1946. Inside was a lot of typewriter eraser gunk. The tabulator system was a bit sluggish, but after a few minutes I figured out how it worked. These machines were made between 1943 and 1953; in total around 80k specimens left the factory in Switzerland. I don't see them too often here. This one costs 25 euro:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikbkGogIiKD-NUXAZzUAupAub7OLpjim4x-aZfNPKuzm5TGC0V5ZvbSNEop-qEYfs9vCMTp01JHxBoCKhKPFjYSBOWeOio1KhOzpbZiNn1DAhHHoKgkHMH_Dn6T45B8u3HkxCEeBkdjf1y2sLBVvKv4inrQRY5q6wtf8A4B3Nj-k24Mi39TQ/s4640/IMG_20230312_162256.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4640" data-original-width="3472" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikbkGogIiKD-NUXAZzUAupAub7OLpjim4x-aZfNPKuzm5TGC0V5ZvbSNEop-qEYfs9vCMTp01JHxBoCKhKPFjYSBOWeOio1KhOzpbZiNn1DAhHHoKgkHMH_Dn6T45B8u3HkxCEeBkdjf1y2sLBVvKv4inrQRY5q6wtf8A4B3Nj-k24Mi39TQ/s320/IMG_20230312_162256.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Next one, a Japy P.90, sn 7002021, made in 1970. This is a rebranded Hermes 3000. It's the third, plastic version of the hyped curved model from the fifties. It has the same tabulator system with the funky red line as the curved model and I guess the other mechanics are similar as well. A very good deal for 10 euro, if you ask me, although cosmetically, it wasn't in the best shape. This plastic version of the Hermes 3000 was sold all through the 1970's. Around half a million of them left the factory. This is one of the earliest examples of the plastic version and also has a azerty keyboard:<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggzNaBOdyfuBxxf0bxohk5KCn5Y0qfcjKZ-jfYVxDJ1QAXxaWobXS3ln72VW128crhxO9WXZ6jj-AhZCCo8hpQzEKPgk65ak65vY924mNufLzkqOJIsoG9gR4VXK9uRXEsqPoZ-PNZ_cEqbf7piMInyqcrQpvUYcVd0Ma1RWSjdc0p6YFQCQ/s3264/IMG_20230312_170310.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggzNaBOdyfuBxxf0bxohk5KCn5Y0qfcjKZ-jfYVxDJ1QAXxaWobXS3ln72VW128crhxO9WXZ6jj-AhZCCo8hpQzEKPgk65ak65vY924mNufLzkqOJIsoG9gR4VXK9uRXEsqPoZ-PNZ_cEqbf7piMInyqcrQpvUYcVd0Ma1RWSjdc0p6YFQCQ/s320/IMG_20230312_170310.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Than the Everest Mod ST. The surprise of the day! I had never seen an Everest before (other than on pictures). They are not that rare, but I am normally not that interested in post war typewriters. I really like the 1950s look of this typewriter and what I also like is how heavy it is. This is 20 kilo of quality. The machine is in working order and for sale for 35 euros. This specimen (sn 254653) left the factory in 1953, but this model was made in Italy between 1948 and 1954. Only 67k Mod ST's were made in that period. You can pick it up for 35 euro. Less than 2 euro per kilo. Unfortunately, this typewriter also had an azerty lay out. I guess they came from the same person?<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8Dq2_su3YGpStuveJ1NKUF8k4gdREawANPt_7kh44sE2IDDSVh0T3CEekq0jn_k8dJJP-5izfI4g8YVc1kRBhFx26LTbzw_jmz1E3s4H4NdMr7c96pOQNkAEbtbUP5v2oz1_bvxj5UVJmXk40dRU-ht55HfiL81uaGzHv9baa3Hw7nQ2yOA/s4640/IMG_20230312_165629.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3472" data-original-width="4640" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8Dq2_su3YGpStuveJ1NKUF8k4gdREawANPt_7kh44sE2IDDSVh0T3CEekq0jn_k8dJJP-5izfI4g8YVc1kRBhFx26LTbzw_jmz1E3s4H4NdMr7c96pOQNkAEbtbUP5v2oz1_bvxj5UVJmXk40dRU-ht55HfiL81uaGzHv9baa3Hw7nQ2yOA/s320/IMG_20230312_165629.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBmGTwCNBLT9TPscp7R7l_puPBU4pGbih49taMR701JrOhLeSS9O1Gs2KQvJfT-Qd4ErH008diTe9pMzfboiqobPuDDEqy2Tg2PMJAFpd3ov0R3oaGl0L8Gbav6PFAgb9dFxTKSMzyxjHZBQ5uaOaiqcbQzeWcc7xSmunhbuziRJpXPuFdzg/s4640/IMG_20230312_165615.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3472" data-original-width="4640" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBmGTwCNBLT9TPscp7R7l_puPBU4pGbih49taMR701JrOhLeSS9O1Gs2KQvJfT-Qd4ErH008diTe9pMzfboiqobPuDDEqy2Tg2PMJAFpd3ov0R3oaGl0L8Gbav6PFAgb9dFxTKSMzyxjHZBQ5uaOaiqcbQzeWcc7xSmunhbuziRJpXPuFdzg/s320/IMG_20230312_165615.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMFkeqnLR38GeG7luHNfY9Ws7jwZdHQiGCiwDLYs2XU_vXPQYnnINXV_WkbTKXPs-iYiwW9hw-verA4KK6LYUENLi5mFgGnyb87iY005b3GIpJpix8m2TWPA70kvFqCdNJW0lS0Oy4osA9s92Ukx9nmF9-nS0djVu1B6G1RvFf-DhmJ6Mkeg/s4640/IMG_20230312_165653.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3472" data-original-width="4640" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMFkeqnLR38GeG7luHNfY9Ws7jwZdHQiGCiwDLYs2XU_vXPQYnnINXV_WkbTKXPs-iYiwW9hw-verA4KK6LYUENLi5mFgGnyb87iY005b3GIpJpix8m2TWPA70kvFqCdNJW0lS0Oy4osA9s92Ukx9nmF9-nS0djVu1B6G1RvFf-DhmJ6Mkeg/s320/IMG_20230312_165653.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Last, an Olivetti Lexikon 80 (qwerty). This one was made in 1950 (sn 2106231). Lexikons were made from 1948 to 1956. The earlier versions have the name on the paper table embossed, like this one. It seems like Olivetti sold a big batch of early versions to The Netherlands, because I see these a lot here. I even scout the earlier and very rare Olivetti M80 every now and than. In total 570k Olivetti Lexikon 80's were sold. This one is for sale for 25 euro.

I was more into wristwatches than typewriters at the time. This year, however, I didn't buy any wrist watches, as I am still happy with the Seiko Marinemaster SBDX017 I've bought in 2018 and has been my daily watch ever since. Only during a few weeks this year I've changed to my vintage Seiko 6138-8030 (JPS) and the Pulsar LED Calculator, which surprisingly became alive again, after I discovered I put the batteries upside down. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The only watch I really want (but didn't buy) is a vintage Rolex Day Date 18078, with bark finish. There are two problems; one is the price, and the other problem is that I don't think I would dare to wear it. I don't have the right amount of mafia vibe around me and I would only worry to damage it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://vanwonderenwatches.com/wp-content/uploads/VWW-juni-2022-2-vierkant-115-van-233.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="200" src="https://vanwonderenwatches.com/wp-content/uploads/VWW-juni-2022-2-vierkant-115-van-233.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">So, what did I do this year regarding typewriters? As I wrote, starting 2022 I owned 3 antique typewriters: I already had my very early Hammond 2 (Dutch delivered), the earliest Remington Portable 1 (NC00062) and a gold plated Princess Praesent. During the year, I sold the gold Princess, and bought 11 different typewriters instead. Let's see, dear imaginary readers, what I bought and sold last year.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlEMXF6ue_dlLRzT_U064txJ6jCltAz0JkHRLT3EdyshCjaHKrobS2m7WAticetEY4Uq9SdhctongQAuMl36Nr-juPe6o1t7mYGaqWGIxmAlJ1enjDjMhOSzWefEY0SFeRG3IX72I847OqdlPl0oxnYyhp1EI2L_qZGOdOBkJNhDO_qoV0tw/s4640/IMG_20220402_144835_HDR.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="4640" data-original-width="3472" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlEMXF6ue_dlLRzT_U064txJ6jCltAz0JkHRLT3EdyshCjaHKrobS2m7WAticetEY4Uq9SdhctongQAuMl36Nr-juPe6o1t7mYGaqWGIxmAlJ1enjDjMhOSzWefEY0SFeRG3IX72I847OqdlPl0oxnYyhp1EI2L_qZGOdOBkJNhDO_qoV0tw/s320/IMG_20220402_144835_HDR.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Perfected Type Writer No. 2 #2518</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Perfected Type Writer No. 2 and Caligraph 2</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Let's go through them chronologically. In March, I went to Köln (Germany) to the Breker Auction, where the typewriter collection of Jim Rauen was auctioned. I managed to pick up a Perfected Typewriter No. 2. Quite a score, and last month I dedicated a <a href="https://schrijfmachine.blogspot.com/2022/12/my-perfected-type-writer-2-2518.html" target="_blank">blogpost</a> about it. This was the typewriter that gave me most fun researching, because so little is known about this successor to the Sholes and Glidden. Michael Adler called it "a connoisseurs instrument" in his book. In the same auction lot I got a Caligraph 2, which I sold locally to another collector. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivz1V2TURYRuppXjHrOF8KNQ9AuK34cdMyH_a2pRv3yYb1NrmjaiF-bWNCDGwd0He6URZ70bVYmyBVo1Y9c8nddE495UWaaB2l6sx8a3YmvX8sYPBaHZ5MZIg7enKewPOPBNOwzlzk61QnBPaCb39EhbEsNQ2ylr_Mu4NLkl9AI_rXWw81_g/s4640/IMG_20220327_172040_HDR.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="4640" data-original-width="3472" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivz1V2TURYRuppXjHrOF8KNQ9AuK34cdMyH_a2pRv3yYb1NrmjaiF-bWNCDGwd0He6URZ70bVYmyBVo1Y9c8nddE495UWaaB2l6sx8a3YmvX8sYPBaHZ5MZIg7enKewPOPBNOwzlzk61QnBPaCb39EhbEsNQ2ylr_Mu4NLkl9AI_rXWw81_g/s320/IMG_20220327_172040_HDR.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Caligraph 2 #18514</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivz1V2TURYRuppXjHrOF8KNQ9AuK34cdMyH_a2pRv3yYb1NrmjaiF-bWNCDGwd0He6URZ70bVYmyBVo1Y9c8nddE495UWaaB2l6sx8a3YmvX8sYPBaHZ5MZIg7enKewPOPBNOwzlzk61QnBPaCb39EhbEsNQ2ylr_Mu4NLkl9AI_rXWw81_g/s4640/IMG_20220327_172040_HDR.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Blickensderfer 5, 7 and 8.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Two months later, in May, there was another Breker Auction of the Rauen collection. This time I didn't go to Köln, but instead bid online on a lot with three Blickensderfers. The one that caught my eye was a very early Blickensderfer 5 (#2878). The hammer price was 300 euro, on top of which I had to pay 85 euro commission costs and 100 euro for packaging and shipment. The three typewriters arrived fast and in good order, so I think it was a pretty good deal. I sold the Blickensderfer 8 and 7 to a befriended collector, and only kept the early Blickensderfer 5.

I have owned several Wagner-Underwoods <a href="http://schrijfmachine.blogspot.com/2014/08/wagner-underwood-2-versus-5.html" target="_blank">before</a>. My theory is that these very old typewriters were shipped from the USA to the Netherlands right after the war (in the late 1940's) when there was a lack of typewriters here. I have found several Wagner-Underwoods here with dealer stickers from after the war, meaning that they were sold and used up to 60 or 70 years after being manufactured. <div><br /></div><div>This particular Wagner Underwood 1 looked odd to me. The frame below the space bar was different from normal Wagner Underwoods. So I quickly made a deal and drove two hours straight to get the machine. I paid 50 euros and hoped to see a very early serial number. Maybe it was some kind of prototype? When I wiped off the dust to read the serial number, my hearth skipped a beat: #122. Oh my. I texted some fellow collectors about this Major Find and - over the moon - drove back home. Once home I gave it a proper inspection and found out I missed a digit under the dust; the serial wasn't #122, but #5122. The weirdest part about this story is that exactly the same happened to me 10 years ago with an <a href="https://schrijfmachine.blogspot.com/2012/10/early-underwood-5-typewriter.html" target="_blank">Underwood 5</a>.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfRcEIZRCBeUXEZqXWakNzR1Dl4R6e7kOZMpBrOFlgrR_BbQoj4lU1vpZaT0q5dONd407Kf_49esAS99Oe4CZKi_krRhEXwPv0KyXCYiHew0NtkXF2NmI-b5U1YGycwYT783Mx7YykHjcLG9RBqQ4sls8N1FwkXTmKmQ864bY-yVl_n6mpig/s4640/IMG_20220614_183821.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="4640" data-original-width="3472" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfRcEIZRCBeUXEZqXWakNzR1Dl4R6e7kOZMpBrOFlgrR_BbQoj4lU1vpZaT0q5dONd407Kf_49esAS99Oe4CZKi_krRhEXwPv0KyXCYiHew0NtkXF2NmI-b5U1YGycwYT783Mx7YykHjcLG9RBqQ4sls8N1FwkXTmKmQ864bY-yVl_n6mpig/s320/IMG_20220614_183821.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Wagner Underwood 1 #5122</td></tr></tbody></table><br />This Wagner Underwood was in the same family for decades, in the small beautiful town called Beesel (Limburg, The Netherlands). According to the seller, it was probably used in the local pharmacy before it became the families home typewriter until well into the 1970's. The seller recalled using it as a child. The strange frame wasn't because this specimen was insanely early and still in prototype development; it probably was just an early (and very well done) repairment of the frame. </div><div><br /></div><div>Okay, that was kind of a disappointment, but only because I had my hopes up too high. It's still a Wagner Underwood 1 of course.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Adler Model 9</b></div><div><br /></div><div>Next up is the rarest find in my collecting career. It's quite a story.</div><div><br /></div><div>In July I received an automated email alert that a local Dutch auction house put a handful of typewriters up for auction. I scrolled through the typewriters and saw nothing special: an Adler, a Folding Corona, some standard machines, nothing special. Although, that Adler... that looked odd. Hadn't seen it before, or did I? The advertisement on the auction site didn't specify the model number, but on the decal visible on one of the photos it said "model 9". In the back of my head, I knew there was one special Adler to keep an eye for. I didn't remember anymore which model it was, nor how it looked like. Was it this model 9? So, I started searching online, but couldn't find anything. Hmmm, this thing must be rare.</div><div><br /></div><div>I looked into my German collectors magazines and after one hour I found an article about the Adler model 9 in a magazine from 2012. My gut feeling was right. This article was written right after one specimen was found and sold on Ebay for a staggering 9600 euro! I must have read it at the time. Okay, so this was special, but I didn't have it yet. It was to be auctioned online, and it wouldn't be strange if another collector would find out about it. I had to be honest with myself, this wasn't the typewriter I had always dreamt of (like a Crandall, a Sholes & Glidden, a Fitch, an Oliver 1 or a Norths). I would only buy it if it stayed under the radar and sell it for a profit.</div><div><br /></div><div>In the weeks before the auction date I did some more research. I learned that in the 1970's, there was only one specimen of the Adler Model 9 known, which let collectors to believe it was a prototype; a more advanced version of the common model 7. In the years to follow, a handful more specimens were discovered, but all with a serial number within a range of 100, which probably meant that no more than 100 specimens left the factory. </div><div><br /></div><div>The Adler 9 is essentially the same machine as an Adler 7, but with a different frame and some extra functions. Not very exciting to me. I also read in a different article in the German typewriter collectors magazine that a German top collector considered his Adler 9 as his favorite machine, because he had to fight for 10 years before he could finally acquire one. And mind you, he also owned a Malling Hansen!</div><div><br /></div><div>The night of the auction, we started low, at 50 euros. I bid patiently as I didn't want to warn anyone that this was a Special Typewriter. There was one other bidder though, and he didn't want to let go. With each new bid, the time left was increased by 2 minutes. We spend 40 minutes or so bidding against each other. How much did my competitor know? Did he know this was an extremely rare and desirable machine? Should I increase my bids faster? We reached 300 euros. I bid 350. He bid 360, I increased to 400. I bid fast, he waited every time till the last seconds. He bid 410. I raised to 450. And than there was nothing... He let go, he desisted. It was mine!</div><div><br /></div><div>A few days later I received the Adler 9. Indeed, it wasn't in good condition and very dirty, but it seemed complete. It was painted over the side panels, but the decals were still untouched. I contacted some collectors who I knew owned a model 9 and asked for some information. One of them could tell me the location of the serial number. The serial number was #35017, which makes it one of the earliest known model 9's. The same collector also asked me to inform him in case I would put it up for sale.</div><div><br /></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJRIw__WUP2jXrjRJjbBO0Scypxnv7n2scAqxUHpB3JUnDF60Iw_su_epS7udsjpHZswYRfQkVAzaYiT4TxiHgqeshwEcfld6RVtWpdRAHWOsRxhCX5MrTAcpmfoWl59XZ9dOh6GHWkM41a9c8W29y16Y28ItPFum9Xlw7iXKAhpsVvyeu9A/s4640/IMG_20220716_201335.jpg" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="3472" data-original-width="4640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJRIw__WUP2jXrjRJjbBO0Scypxnv7n2scAqxUHpB3JUnDF60Iw_su_epS7udsjpHZswYRfQkVAzaYiT4TxiHgqeshwEcfld6RVtWpdRAHWOsRxhCX5MrTAcpmfoWl59XZ9dOh6GHWkM41a9c8W29y16Y28ItPFum9Xlw7iXKAhpsVvyeu9A/s320/IMG_20220716_201335.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Adler model 9 #35017</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcOEj8gfQ6zf0pB_3-2Ut3_ok7Cz9PmYtcw9gNkyd0vtt25gfyiS9N41vWxJaUJE6dKevCdUZoRwKrhGzLDWK6ZI1AA35q8j2zTQslGWb7PX-m2fpW2WSW72dAkMiH19iHV_-1mj72JELegwnCk8x_7yknNHlbtNB722JjSd5niEHDJDj7hg/s4640/IMG_20221207_183557.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><br /></a>After a few weeks, I decided for good that I didn't want to keep it. I bought it for trading in the first place, I did some research about this model, enjoyed it, and that's it. It had to go. I put an ad in the German typewriter collectors magazine and informed the fellow collector that I put it up for sale. I decided to ask the same amount as the last sell of an Adler 9 in 2012. Okay, said the fellow collector. Just let me know your banking details. He instantly agreed on the asking price. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">In the days after this, I received quite a lot of mails and calls from other collectors asking about the Adler 9. One of them didn't understand why I was selling it. He said: you collect typewriters, right? Why do you sell such a special machine? He has a point, but it's a lot of money and I would rather use the money to buy a typewriter I really desire (or a Rolex Day Date). But at the moment, I can't justify (to myself) spending so much money on luxury or hobby. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Hermes 3000 (2 typewriters)</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">In October I bought a Hermes 3000. The one with the curves. It was listed online in Utrecht (where I live), so I cycled to the city center and took it with me for 55 euro. These typewriters go for crazy money lately, mainly because some famous director used it to write his movies. This specimen was in bad condition because someone lost the key of the case and opened it by brute force. The typewriter was bent in many places, but still typed like a charm. I liked typing on it as it has an attractive techno font. It is also the only typewriter I let my children play on.

My main mission was to complete the Adler 9 transaction, by handing over the machine to the buyer just before the start of the auction. I was happy I could finally close the transaction and stop worrying about having to take care of such an expensive machine at home. I played with the thought of using the money to bid one of the Sholes and Gliddens in the Breker Auction, but again: I couldn't. I guess I didn't want one bad enough.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">After the auction I went to the traditional collectors meeting at the Decksteiner Tennis Club. I said hi to some friends there and one of them had a pristine Hermes 3000 for sale. Well, I knew by now I liked that machine, so I decided to buy it. He asked 165 euro, mainly because it had a special feature: it was able to type with extra symbols, using a system called <a href="https://imgur.com/a/4FfSjwI">Typit</a>. We agreed on 150 euros, and I took it home. Here you see me using the typit system, it's quite ingenious and simple at the same time.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcOEj8gfQ6zf0pB_3-2Ut3_ok7Cz9PmYtcw9gNkyd0vtt25gfyiS9N41vWxJaUJE6dKevCdUZoRwKrhGzLDWK6ZI1AA35q8j2zTQslGWb7PX-m2fpW2WSW72dAkMiH19iHV_-1mj72JELegwnCk8x_7yknNHlbtNB722JjSd5niEHDJDj7hg/s4640/IMG_20221207_183557.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dweeKAeyaIDpEJko2xJziD7Kj3_VG0p4XnC9IGowQdrOzO1_aquCBYsZY9BgWXZEQvKYlu4iukLm60' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></a><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Oliver 8</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">One of the most beautiful antique typewriters is the Oliver.

I will definitely once own an Oliver 1 (yeah, dream on) or early 2, but till that time I figured I could buy a more accessible model. In December, I found an online advertisement for an Oliver 8. In case you don't know, this is the very rare export version of the Oliver 7. The ad was online for over two months and the typewriter still wasn't sold. Maybe because the seller asked 275 euros. I negotiated it down to 175 and drove to a village near Rotterdam to get it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWJnlvq-KZ2sQm16S-3PMxf9EASAdPRXO6taRZr7zAGgseN4u9gMhjsxHi1k_Vinu8gyip248WEmA51eGpw1uazx45WZMpBqjIbzXT7NWctdk5azb9FQ7WSGy6UfovEQah4CXx0lyUl6k2rWXSuhN1zVFZ6hwISjVpx7ymY7KIRFzMe4uuvw/s4640/IMG_20221209_141703.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="4640" data-original-width="3472" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWJnlvq-KZ2sQm16S-3PMxf9EASAdPRXO6taRZr7zAGgseN4u9gMhjsxHi1k_Vinu8gyip248WEmA51eGpw1uazx45WZMpBqjIbzXT7NWctdk5azb9FQ7WSGy6UfovEQah4CXx0lyUl6k2rWXSuhN1zVFZ6hwISjVpx7ymY7KIRFzMe4uuvw/s320/IMG_20221209_141703.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It was in decent shape, but I had to repair the mainspring.

looking at the center wheel, just above the metal paper scale in front of the

wheel in front of the carriage. From the Standard Type Writer № 2 onward, the
shifting mechanism changes, and the part above the center wheel is not
connected to a shifting construction anymore.</o:p></span></p>

However, there is a picture of an 8th PTW2 in a book from 1964 about the
typewriter collection of the Science Museum of London. That machine is also
pictured in Beeching’s book (The Century of the Typewriter, 1974). According to
the <a href="https://collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co8683698/no-2-remington-typewriter-typewriter." target="_blank">online museum catalog</a>, this machine has number #593, and I believe this
is indeed a serial number.</p>

Picture from museum catalog, 1964. Notice the lack of a decal above the keyboard. Above the right shift key there is only a pin stripe visible.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />From the
old picture in the book, it looks like this machine doesn’t have the name “Perfected
Type Writer № 2” above the keyboard. This is just like the very early
Perfected Type Writers № 4, which don’t have any designation either, only
pinstripes above the keyboard; see for example <a href="https://www.antiquetypewriters.com/typewriter/remington-perfected-4-typewriter/" target="_blank">PTW4 #575</a>.
Unfortunately, the London Science Museum has ignored my mails (and even a
letter) asking for more information.</p>

second peculiarity of my machine is the “r.”-key. That’s right, a single key
for two characters: the “r” and the period. It is located as uppercase character
above number “5”. When searching the web for more information about the Perfected
Type Writer №. 2, I stumbled upon an interesting article from Marcin Wichary
about this key. Here is a quote from the article, explaining the use of this
key:</p>
<blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">“In such abbreviations
as Mr. or Dr., the small letter r and period can be made with one touch by
using the fourth key from the left in first row. […]</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Why
dedicate half a key to something so obscure, and something that looks exactly
the same as typing r and . separately? The answers to both, as it turned out,
required just a bit of context.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">This [the
Perfected Type Writer № 2) was among the first typewriters with shifting, and
shifting was hard – split between Upper Case and Lower Case keys on the
opposite sides of the keyboard, and requiring a lot of force to lift a heavy
mechanism. Putting r. in a shifted position was a stroke of genius – in common
usage (e.g. Mr. Wichary) it followed an uppercase letter, and was immediately
followed by another one, so this saved a few shifts and unshifts along the way.”</span></p></blockquote>

Every year, it ends with a summary of most worn watches, some typewriters, sunglasses, cameras, books and the occasional model car. I enjoy reading and watching it, and although I am not a good photographer, I decided to shamelessly imitate the Teeritz style.</p><p>I've only worn 4 wristwatches in 2021. I have more in my watch box, but I only wore 4. Here are 3 pictures of them. The fourth watch is a Casio F91w. It's a famous no-nonsense lcd-watch which I use when I work in the garden or try to fix something at home. After selling my typewriters in 2018 I didn't own any at all for some time. Now I own 3 typewriters. Two of them were acquired this year and I find myself longing for more. Let's start:</p><p><br /></p><p><u><b>Number 3 - Pulsar Calculator Watch</b></u></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEinxHonYEEwrdYYSJW5P0-sHIXNpcEAFo9RT4_7RqaK__3SA_EDcHsqC7qPq-PAuKYIe-jvP4Lbfldgygygv8rUxX7jYP8t_pU5YqjQ6bLgiPPK8-KEIhqTTsgQ0bcA9B_iqyCuTlLR3VgrjZl5SCW6HJIwj7HVpNKbflh4q6RFgnE-QM9d_w=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEinxHonYEEwrdYYSJW5P0-sHIXNpcEAFo9RT4_7RqaK__3SA_EDcHsqC7qPq-PAuKYIe-jvP4Lbfldgygygv8rUxX7jYP8t_pU5YqjQ6bLgiPPK8-KEIhqTTsgQ0bcA9B_iqyCuTlLR3VgrjZl5SCW6HJIwj7HVpNKbflh4q6RFgnE-QM9d_w=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p>I bought this Pulsar Calculator Watch from a US auction site. It's a led watch with build-in calculator. It predates the well known Seiko en Casio LCD calculator watches. This is the Euro style version, which is less bulky than the US-style Pulsar Calculator. Led watches were build for a short period in the early seventies, simply because posterior LCD technology was superior. I discovered this the hard way, as I paid 500 dollar for it (+ another 500 dollar of auction, shipping and import costs). It is in almost mint condition and worked perfectly when it arrived. I was as happy as a child; as an employee of the National Institute of Statistics, this was quite the watch for me. </p><p>Three days later, the led-module died. Before buying it I already knew this was risky business, as led-modules are notoriously fragile. But still, it was a big disappointment. I hope someday someone will be able to build new led modules for these Pulsar Calculator Watches. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Before the led module died, I made 2 videos of the Pulsar Calculator, showing the flipping of the wrist mechanism (which is pretty need for 1970's technology) and the calculator function.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwDpTGQoGaRnb9FbmG_bIGbMlNyaJC-Nm8qp_jEMbJHYsLpmW_YW2Khdly72mpCCWCBgIX2OCvQ4so' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzaVD3VXJx1pWZTzWBi4HMBFSqjz2DWrqMuBsb_BuqlaVrD0PQZE4__Xm-Q7sECUFX-hRG4AU9p8jg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Also in the frame;</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Typewriter - my <a href="https://schrijfmachine.blogspot.com/2020/05/hammond-typewriter-2.html" target="_blank">Hammond 2</a>, which I bought in 2020. It's a early model 2 with some features of a number 1 (like the steel platen knob). It was originally imported to The Netherlands and belonged to the same family for around 90 years before I was able to buy it. It stands proudly under a plexi cover in the living room. No dust or small children hands will ruin it. It's not for typing, it is just nice to look at and admire the design and mechanism.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Model cars - two Jaguars. The blue one is my favorite model, a Jaguar XJ12 series 2. This Matchbox variation features a caravan, which doesn't suit it imho. It's more like a car for business man, not for camping guests. The yellow Jaguar is made by Husky and is a XJ6 series 1. I prefer the front of the series 2. Once, when I'll have a garage, I will buy a real series 2. The lines of this car are just pure perfection.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Books - the 1949-edition of Ernst Martin, die Schreibmaschine und ihre Entwicklungsgeschichte. It must be the only German book that I've read from a to z voluntarily. Everything you need to know about antique typewriters is in it. In the back you can see my copy of Typewriter, a celebration of the ultimate writing machine, by Paul Robert and Peter Weil. This is typewriter porn of sometimes very obscure machines. You should read Ernst Martin and use the pictures of Paul Robert.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><u>Number 2 - Seiko 6138-8030 JPS</u></b></div><span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhd9R_6JZlO3sAABVCpDiGfcXZvp_Rnrbn_vC_IQEBV3VlCiBKSkNFH6WflPu_b3vFH07WOBfz9A-nkOusXgI8ZXuKOG4-JSDEHfHX3grjjylz-QqpEXtcKSrWP6NA2MgRRsk_msV4tZAjEqI60q2BqfW7SBDdNd7grGADx7E38cMTVAz6IXw=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhd9R_6JZlO3sAABVCpDiGfcXZvp_Rnrbn_vC_IQEBV3VlCiBKSkNFH6WflPu_b3vFH07WOBfz9A-nkOusXgI8ZXuKOG4-JSDEHfHX3grjjylz-QqpEXtcKSrWP6NA2MgRRsk_msV4tZAjEqI60q2BqfW7SBDdNd7grGADx7E38cMTVAz6IXw=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This Seiko 6138-8030 arrived in late 2020. It's an automatic chrono from 1977 with original bracelet. I found it on the English Ebay and had it served by a guy from the Dutch watch forum. I was looking for this model for a long time, as I really like the JPS colors. JPS stands for John Player Special, which is a cigarette brand which sponsored racing cars in the '70s and '80s. Those cars were painted with gold letters (JPS) on black, which looks stunning. Other brands, like Seiko, seemed to have followed this fashion of black and gold color schemes for their product. Rolex did the same with the Paul Newman Daytona: one of the nicest watches on earth (but criminally expensive):</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://amsterdamvintagewatches.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/AVW-Rolex-Daytona-JPS-7-Extra.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="200" src="https://amsterdamvintagewatches.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/AVW-Rolex-Daytona-JPS-7-Extra.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I almost never wear my Seiko JPS. It seemed nice on pictures, but it feels too light. That's typical of vintage watches, I guess, as modern watches are just better build, or at least more solid. I like the feel of a solid well-build watch on my wrist.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><p></p><p>Also in the frame;</p><p>Typewriter - Princess 300 praesent. It's the gold plated version of the ordinary Princess 300. This was meant as a relationship gift for companies. Not many were made. I bought it last month from German Ebay. For some reason, during the last years I got convinced I needed a gold plated typewriter. Which is weird, because nobody really needs a gold typewriter. It's just capitalistic greed, I think. But well, I coudn't resist the urge and when I got the chance, I bought it without hesitating. It's complete with warranty, manual and proof of gold plating. It was sold in 1964, eight years before John Player Special started to sponsor racing cars, so there is no link between the JPS color scheme and this Princess Praesent in gold/black. Pure coincidence.</p><p>Model cars - Although John Player Special only sponsored Lotus and BMW (the Australian 635CSI JPS might be the coolest racing car ever), you can see the JPS livery on many other (model) cars, like this 1980s Porsche 911 Turbo (made by Siku) and even a Mercedes 500 SEC from the same period (made by Matchbox). The yellow windows make this Mercedes look even more aggressive. Here is a pic from the web of a BMW 635CSI:</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://topgear.static-vds.nl/thumbs/hd/2017/06/iconic_jps_bmw_635_csi_with_jim_richards_at_the_wheel_5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="800" height="113" src="https://topgear.static-vds.nl/thumbs/hd/2017/06/iconic_jps_bmw_635_csi_with_jim_richards_at_the_wheel_5.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><p></p><p>Books - Anthony Casillo, Typewriters. This book is about the pictures. If you have it, go to pages 85 - 87, featuring an Oliver 1 from different angles. It's a work of art. I would gladly use all my savings and a kidney to buy a specimen, but it won't be enough. Okay, here is a snap shot of it, I hope the author won't mind (buy the book!). </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhlWi63x6phScYQ0V_q7pb1YQp7kcyJJvn5OX0yzfK3-Kli_sk2OT2xAb0VIwoDrSRCMaldLkJsCeO3hOc_lF0hXf4J3ZwVho6Ejc2YRHOE8fSiMXHivdEm9b58vIPspNeyG1SSJLU17iEWx0oATTFO0u4yDKxxczYytzxo9XnwVCAc0konxw=s3903" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2375" data-original-width="3903" height="122" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhlWi63x6phScYQ0V_q7pb1YQp7kcyJJvn5OX0yzfK3-Kli_sk2OT2xAb0VIwoDrSRCMaldLkJsCeO3hOc_lF0hXf4J3ZwVho6Ejc2YRHOE8fSiMXHivdEm9b58vIPspNeyG1SSJLU17iEWx0oATTFO0u4yDKxxczYytzxo9XnwVCAc0konxw=w200-h122" width="200" /></a></div><p></p><p>Anyway, I included the book in the picture because it has a gold plated Princess on the cover. The other book in the frame needs no introduction, as it is The typewriter revolution, by Richard Polt. When it came out, I wrote a typewritten <a href="https://schrijfmachine.blogspot.com/2015/11/the-typewriter-revolution.html">review</a> of it. It must have been the last time I actually used a typewriter for more than a few quick sentences.<br /></p><p><br /></p><span><u><b>Number 1 - Seiko SBDX017, Marinemaster 300</b></u><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJP97UPTDWcXOUe-fwtibG8gYI98wxyMfF-zniaXsUEobEAFjuLjkmrXCwEo5Fn3Jlw6KjKhdIcS2Zpqx34vxmgWTaxHpAAR0dmMSjT7fph2hXJ-5ABqcFf-YABeVNNlU_Ug-D8ctSaBdBTO8P-P0l0F61YcdP9HDSWrtXhgQyqvyPAuY4rA=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgJP97UPTDWcXOUe-fwtibG8gYI98wxyMfF-zniaXsUEobEAFjuLjkmrXCwEo5Fn3Jlw6KjKhdIcS2Zpqx34vxmgWTaxHpAAR0dmMSjT7fph2hXJ-5ABqcFf-YABeVNNlU_Ug-D8ctSaBdBTO8P-P0l0F61YcdP9HDSWrtXhgQyqvyPAuY4rA=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><br /></div><p></p><p>After selling my typewriter collection in 2018, I got more into watches. I've never developed myself as a watch collector though, and I blame this Seiko Marinemaster. It's just perfect: nice lines, very solidly build, good heritage, not Rolexly overpriced and I feel I have something substantial on my wrist without bothering me. It's currently on an Angus Jubilee of Strapcode, but I alternate between various bracelets. My wrists are slim, but because the lug to lug distance is not that large, I can handle the watch without lug overhang. I bought this watch as one of the last of the SBDX017 in August 2018. Since than it's my daily beater. So much, in fact, that any other watch I buy is condemned to my watch box. Why would I wear my Hamilton Jazzmaster, Casio FW91w, vintage Seiko JPS or SKX007 when I have a far superior Marinemaster? For me, this is the one watch to rule them all.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also in the frame; </p><p>Typewriter - Remington portable 1. I warn you, this is a sad story. Not for the faint hearted. In 2017, I found the earliest known Remington 1 portable typewriter, serial NC00099 (number 99 from October 1920). I even published an article about it in the Fall issue of Etcetera, see my blogpost about it with many pictures <a href="https://schrijfmachine.blogspot.com/2021/02/earliest-remington-portable-1-typewriter.html" target="_blank">here</a>. I was so happy with the machine and article! In 2018, I sold my whole collection of typewriters, including Remington NC00099, but I regretted it instantly. So, I kept on searching for a similar model, hoping to find, once, an even earlier specimen of the Remington Portable 1. </p><p>Fast forward to the beginning of 2021: scrolling though Ebay.com, suddenly I saw a Remington Portable 1 with all the early features. I bought it immediately without even knowing the serial number. After weeks of waiting it arrived at home. I checked the serial and, YES, it was NC00062; number 62 from October 1920! I took a few snap shots and put it safely on the shelf, far away from the hands of my children. </p><p>Next morning, I see a shelf on the ground and a bent and broken typewriter next to it. I hope this machine can be repaired once, but I don't know who can do it. Lesson learned: never put small screws in big holes in the wall. </p><p>Watches - On the right side you see my white Polar M430; it's a GPS running watch. I wore it during the Amsterdam Marathon of 2021 (in between two lockdowns). I have trained a lot last 6 years. Last year more than ever, having joined the local Athletics Club. It was all worth it though, because I nailed this marathon like I never did before. I started the first half in 1:23, and than accelerated, passing loads of other runners. I finished with a 2 minuted negative split in 2 hours and 44 minutes. I felt strong right till the end, it was an amazing experience. After the marathon I treated myself on a new watch; a Garmin 245 Forerunner (on the left). It's more accurate than my old Polar and has more training functions. On the picture below, you see me running the final 300 meters of the marathon, wearing my white Polar M430.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj8I-hCqIk-1r6kQrEOD7Sjv4wWIYmw3Wia8jf2opBc5KkReoaYcExvYYVA9LoBJ17h6R2fcm4scuySWY-e_zLoNm8tTQrDbeBz26rE3zVQ8dMGkgaNlWVQTKMLlExtiiQKXxKCAL50fCBScDZni-QXY0XPRIAbbrj7zwVNYZPJOZRLoppDFQ=s2944" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1968" data-original-width="2944" height="134" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj8I-hCqIk-1r6kQrEOD7Sjv4wWIYmw3Wia8jf2opBc5KkReoaYcExvYYVA9LoBJ17h6R2fcm4scuySWY-e_zLoNm8tTQrDbeBz26rE3zVQ8dMGkgaNlWVQTKMLlExtiiQKXxKCAL50fCBScDZni-QXY0XPRIAbbrj7zwVNYZPJOZRLoppDFQ=w200-h134" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Model cars - I have always liked the big saloon cars of Mercedes.

Notice that although the letter in the machine is dated August 1920, the machine has integrated feet, like later machines. </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>In the Fall of 2017, I wrote an article about the earliest known Remington Portable typewriter, with serial number NC00099. This serial number stems from October 1920. In fact, it means it was machine number 99 from that month. You can read the full article in Etcetera, which is a free PDF download: <a href="https://etconline.org/backissues/ETC118.pdf">https://etconline.org/backissues/ETC118.pdf</a> </p><p>As you can read in the article, I compare the earliest known Remington Portable NC00099 with a later machine, NA00346, made in December 1920. The pictures in the magazine are of low resolution, so I decided to put them here, on my personal typewriter blog. For differences between December 1920 machines and later ones, see <a href="https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/rem-portables.htm#1" target="_blank">Richard Polt's excellent overview</a>. </p><p>Although the Remington Portable was presented to the public in October 1920 and no earlier machine than NC00099 is known, Remington started production of the new portable typewriter as early as late 1919. It could be that those 1919-machines were stamped with a serial number in October 1920, but there might as well be machines with serial numbers before October 1920! Keep your eyes open. </p><p>If you want to find out in which year and month your Remington Portable typewriter was made, click <a href="https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/rem-portables.htm#serialnumbers" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>On a side note: both machines are not in my collection anymore.</p><p>Okay, now the pictures! </p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHv5Dhs1oaFqOHCsOUVsgkNt55V_oapkYSvGZpuOISiW16JecsZ31KtjMTx0yoecyyl1pMsNI-XaHVSFk2D1yznHKTcOy8prqbpM-Ww2TgPnaT_U4GLLQzIf5xZq7PdQAxKZoj/s842/01+NC00099+right+NA00346+right+overview.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="NC00099 on the left, NA00346 on the right" border="0" data-original-height="423" data-original-width="842" height="201" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHv5Dhs1oaFqOHCsOUVsgkNt55V_oapkYSvGZpuOISiW16JecsZ31KtjMTx0yoecyyl1pMsNI-XaHVSFk2D1yznHKTcOy8prqbpM-Ww2TgPnaT_U4GLLQzIf5xZq7PdQAxKZoj/w400-h201/01+NC00099+right+NA00346+right+overview.jpg" title="NC00099 on the left, NA00346 on the right" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">NC00099 on the left, NA00346 on the right</td></tr></tbody></table><div><br /></div><div>The most interesting difference between the 1920 machines is the way they are attached to the case and rest on their feet.

The cotter pins that attach this machine to the base through holes in the studs are missing.

This is a Standard Typewriter No 2 (made in 1886). As you can see on the pictures, the name Remington is nowhere to be seen on this machine. There is no red decal on the paper table or on top of the frame, and there is no mention of the name Remington above the keyboard, or on the frame under the space bar. </div>

It seems Wyckoff, Seamans and Benedict tried to market this machine as THE typewriter. However, they soon must have realized other writing machines on the market were also known as typewriters, and that this battle couldn't be won. </div>

<b>History of the Remington 2 typewriter</b><br />
<br />
Below are some pictures from the internet, of other Perfected, Standard and Remington No2 typewriters, ordered by serial number. Notice the differences:<br />
<br />
First, it was called a Perfected Type Writer No2, made by Remington. Notice the space between Type and Writer.<br />
<br />
Than it was a Standard Type-writer No2, made by Remington. With hyphen between Type and Writer.<br />
<br />
Than it became the same Standard Typewriter, but for the first time, the names of Wyckoff, Seamans and Benedict were mentioned. This is my machine, without the name Remington. It is also the first time "typewriter" was written as one word. Therefor, I could argue I own the first real typewriter. :)<br />
<br />
On later machines, Remington came back as manufacturer, and only on the latest machines it was used as a brand name.<br />

I gradually lost interest and I wanted to free some space. Recently, however, I started to look for typewriters again, focusing mostly on the typewriters I never had. I bought a Remington Standard 2 and, last Friday, a pristine Hammond 2.<br />

Almost ten years ago, I wrote a little article about Hammond typewriters in The Netherlands, see: <a href="https://etconline.org/backissues/ETC095.pdf" target="_blank">https://etconline.org/backissues/ETC095.pdf</a>. Hammond was a fairly popular machine here. I wrote about the importers of Hammond typewriters. According to the shield on the right side of the machine, this specimen was imported by G.H. Voorhoeve. This was several years before Ruys splitted the import of typewriters from the main company in 1904. Later, Ruys became the importer of Underwood and Olivetti.<br />

The serial number of this machine is 27766, which makes it a very early model 2, from around 1895. Several details, like the paper basket, the line spacer, the paper table and the carriage wheel, are the same ones as used on models 1a and 1b. The metal tab on the front is the most obvious sign it actually is a model number 2.<br />
<br />
Under the metal tab is a mysterious part that I haven't seen before. It holds the shuttle down, so the written text could be read without having to hold the finger on the metal tab. But I am open for other suggestions.<br />

<br />
I bought the machine in Bergambacht, a small Dutch village on the border of the river Lek. The seller is the grandson of Pieter Vos, born in 1876, who was tailor in a village nearby: Lekkerkerk. Apparently, Pieter Vos sailed regularly to the city of Rotterdam (20 kilometers over the river Lek), so it is possible he bought the typewriter there. G.H. Voorhoeve sold Hammonds in Rotterdam, so that's possible.<br />
<br />
However, according to his grandson, tailor Pieter Vos used the Hammond in the 1920s and 1930s as a secretary of the local shopkeepers association in Lekkerkerk. As this machine was made around 1895, I don't think Pieter Vos was the first owner; he would have been very young by than (19 years). Pieter Vos died in 1967. His son inherited the Hammond and kept it till he died himself in 2013 (98 years of age). The seller was the next in line to receive the typewriter, but his children didn't want it, so I could buy it.<br />
<br />
I made a video to show how it works:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
It is the best conserved Hammond 2 I have seen so far. Everything is there and shiny: the original ribbon spools, the little metal part on the paper table that activates the bell, even the original impression strip is still doing its job.

It is the third Hammond I own (after an ideal Multiplex and a Folding Multiplex), and I am amazed by the quality of this machine. Everything seems made to last forever. A lot of small parts seem custom designed for this machine, it's all very ingenious and well thought. The pictures don't do it justice, but I hope you enjoy them anyway.<br />

After paying for it, however, the typewriter got lost. It's three months later now, and it still hasn't arrived. These Gorham Silver Smith Corona's are extremely rare: less than 10 are still known to exist.<br />
<br />
The one I bought wasn't in very good shape: as you can see on the pictures below, the silver plating has a lot of wear all over, but especially on the ribbon cover (left) and on the edges below the space bar. This specific wear makes this particular specimen unique and, more important: recognisable. If you recognise this typewriter and know where it is, please let me know: schrijfmachine@yahoo.nl .<br />
Thanks a lot!<br />

Here are some thoughts about the book. Sorry for the slow start in the typecast; I've never written more on a typewriter than just a few sentences.<br />

Written on Continental Silenta #754,401 (late 1939).<br />

Last week, I finally bought a very early Wagner-Underwood #5, with serial number 3932-5. Not many earlier Underwood #5's are known to have survived. I was able to buy it after some harsh negotiations, just 10 minutes driving from where I live. It needed some minor repair and a lot of cleaning, but now it's working again.<br />

According to the serial number, this machine was made in 1901. However, it features a dealer sticker of <a href="http://www.kaptino.nl/over-ons" target="_blank">Kaptino</a>. This Amsterdam based typewriter dealing company was founded in 1950, but the address on the sticker was used by Kaptino only from 1962 onwards. I think it's amazing that this typewriter was apparently re-sold again over 60 years after it came out of the factory!<br />

As the typewriter was re-sold by Kaptino in the 1960s (or later), it's possible that the machine was rebuilt or thoroughly serviced. It seems it was repainted at some spots, but not everywhere. For example, the Wagner-decal at the back is still visible. To me, it seems that the hardware is still original. That makes sense, as Kaptino re-sold standard typewriters for as little as 59 guilders (a new Underwood costed 415 guilders at the time), see this 1962 <a href="http://resolver.kb.nl/resolve?urn=ddd:011204248:mpeg21:a0220" target="_blank">advertisement</a>. If this machine was really altered with new hardware, it wouldn't be profitable to sell at such a low price.<br />
<br />
Last year, I was lucky enough to buy a dirty <a href="http://schrijfmachine.blogspot.nl/2013/04/did-i-just-receive-underwood-2.html" target="_blank">Wagner-Underwood 2</a>. I was so excited about the find, that I only posted some snapshots of the machine before cleaning it. Now I've cleaned it and I also replaced the not original (plastic!) letters of the shift- and tabulator-key. It looks far better now:<br />

In total, only around 12000 Wagner-Underwood's 1 and 2 were made (the #2 was the export version with more keys). After that, they were continued by the improved models 4 and 5, the latter being the export version. According to the <a href="http://typewriterdatabase.com/underwood.4.typewriter-serial-number-database">typewriterdatabase.com</a>, my Wagner-Underwood #2 SN 9732 was made in december 1900. That's just a few months before my Wagner-Underwood #5 SN 3932-5 came out of the factory. So, let's compare the two machines. Click on the image to enlarge.<br />

Organizer <a href="http://blog.spiderwebz.nl/" target="_blank">Spider</a> created a very interesting program, opening with a presentation about her own machines. Than all of us presented our favorite portable typewriter. It was the first time I saw a Lilliput typewriter, which Cor kindly took with him. Between and before the presentations we had time enough to inspect all the Halberg portables we took with us.<br />

After the lunch, Spider refereed a real speed typing contest. Albert Tangora would probably turn in his grave, but it was great fun. It looked a bit like this, but slower:<br />

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Last week, I won this
Lambert typewriter at an online auction. The grandfather of the seller bought
it at least 50 years ago at a flea market in Amsterdam and it had been in the
family ever since. The machine is still in good condition, complete and (if I would
re-ink the pad) still working. See the video I made, below.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Inventor Frank Lambert
(born in France, emigrated to the USA) filed his first typewriter patent in
1884, but it was only in 1900 when the Lambert typewriter was produced for the
first time. In the mean time, he made a fortune with the invention of a water meter. The
sale of his typewriter proved to be more challenging, although over the next 3 decades more than 17.000 Lamberts
were sold.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The main reason why
people would prefer a Lambert over, for example, an Underwood 5 (the most
common standard typewriter at the time), was because the Lambert was four times
as cheap. You could own a Lambert for as little as 25 dollar. It was not as
good or fast as an Underwood, but for sporadically use at home it was good
enough.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

typewriters (from serial number 2.500 onwards) were sold by Sidney Hébert from France.
First he only dealt the typewriters, later (from SN 5.500 onwards) he bought the machinery and
constructed Lambert typewriters himself. These later machines bear the label "constructeur".</span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">My Lambert typewriter bears the name of
Sidney Hébert, but without the label “constructeur”. </span>Strange enough, its serial number is very high: 26.618. The Typewriter Sketchbook mentions that normal serial
numbering stopped around 17.000. Only a few machines within the 26.000 range have
survived and it is suggested that these machines were numbered differently for
export.</div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">My machine has some
export characters on the keyboard (the so-called “multiple key”), so that would
subscribe this theory, as well as the fact that it eventually turned up at a
flea market in the Netherlands. More important, its multiple key can rotate in order to write <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">italics</i>.
According to the same Typewriter Sketchbook, only the first 3.300 Lamberts
carried this feature, which is why collectors call these machines “model
1”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Unless somebody comes
up with a better conclusion, all this makes me believe that my Lambert typewriter model 1 should have had a
serial number between 2.500 and 3.300, but was numbered differently because it
was meant for export.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I didn’t drive almost
2 hours to Germany just to take pictures of typewriters and collectors (see my
<a href="http://schrijfmachine.blogspot.nl/2013/05/german-typewriter-collectors-meeting.html" target="_blank">previous post</a>). In fact, I carried a list of typewriters that I would possibly
buy if the price would be right. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
One of the machines on
my list was the <a href="http://machinesoflovinggrace.com/ptf/VisDaughertyPittsburg.html" target="_blank">Daugherty Visible (1893)</a>. It’s not only a very nice typewriter
to see, it also has historical value for being the very first completely
visible typewriter. Unfortunately, there was no Daugherty for sale, but the
next best thing was standing on one of the tables: a <a href="http://www.typewritermuseum.org/collection/index.php3?machine=pittsb10&cat=kf" target="_blank">Pittsburg Visible (1898)</a>.
This is almost the same machine as the Daugherty, except for carrying another
name. The price was right and it seemed complete to me, so I put it in the
trunk of my car.<o:p></o:p></div>

The serial number of my machine is 11985.
According to this <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TYPEWRITERS/message/22693" target="_blank">serial number list</a> around 10 thousand
Daugherty’s were made between 1890 and 1898. In or around 1898, the machine was
renamed Pittsburg Visible with continuous serial numbers running into 12 thousand. In 1902 the Pittsburg Visible 10 was
introduced, with serial numbers ranging from 13 to 23 thousand.</div>

The Pittsburg Visible
that was made between 1898 and 1901 (one of which is my machine) is sometimes
referred to as the “model no. 9”. This model designation was never put on any
machine, but it is used in the serial number list of Burghagen to distinguish
this model from the later number 10. <o:p></o:p></div>

There are some minor
differences between the Daugherty and the Pittsburg Visible no. 9 (mainly
different decals) and some more important differences between these two
typewriters and the Pittsburg No. 10. The number 10 was stronger and a better
typer (see Martin 1949, p. 114), and because of the use of normal shift keys it
also had a different appearance than the previous models, which had nickeled
shift keys. For more differences between the models, see: <a href="http://www.typewritermuseum.org/collection/index.php3?machine=pittsb10&cat=kf" target="_blank">the Virtual Typewriter Museum</a>.<o:p></o:p></div>

I still doubt whether
I should buy newly made nickeled ribbon spools. At some time, a former owner of
this Pittsburg typewriter replaced the original nickeled spools with regular
spools. Newly made nickeled replacement spools do exist and would bring the typewriter back to it original appearance, but I am afraid they
would look too shiny on my otherwise not so shiny machine.<o:p></o:p></div>

It was nice to see familiar faces and to practice German while walking past the trunks of the cars, filled with all kinds of typewriters. Here are the pictures, so you get an idea. I had the impression that most sellers had to take the vast majority of their machines back home again. Only those who put "realistic" prices were able to sell some.<br />

I bought it from an antiques dealer on the internet, who thought it was from the 1940s. If this is really a #2, it would've been made in or around 1898.<br />
<br />
It looks like an Underwood 1 (no see-saw ribbon color selector and a metal colored scale strip) but it has 42 keys instead of 38, so - according to Ernst Martin (1923), p. 218 - that would make it a #2. The serial number is 9732. There is no patent information on the back (no mention to Wagner, nothing).<br />
<br />
I haven't found a lot of information yet about this machine or its rarity, except for a <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TYPEWRITERS/message/13360" target="_blank">message in the Yahoo typewriter mailing list</a> from 2002, claiming that only 2 other Underwood #2's were known. So, logically, I am very excited about this find. Is this really an Underwood 2? And if so, is it really that rare? Anyone else owns an Underwood 2? What is the serial number?<br />
<br />
If anyone reading this has more information about the Underwood 2, please write me a comment below or click <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TYPEWRITERS/message/59976" target="_blank">here to answer the mail </a>I've sent about this typewriter in the Yahoo typewriter mailing list. Now, I probably better start cleaning it. Carefully, just in case!<br />

<span lang="EN-US">My latest
typewriter acquisition came in with quite an attitude. The other typewriters
didn’t understand. It was old, produced in 1888, but since when was that
something to brag about? It was relatively rare and well, it had a fancy
mechanism, but most typewriters in my display have a not so ordinary way of
typing. So, why the attitude?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">My other
typewriters couldn’t know, but the Yost 1 I bought last week is <u>famous.</u> For
decades, Michael Adler’s “The writing machine” has been the best typewriter
book around (after Martin’s “Die Schreibmaschine” of course, but Martin didn’t
publish pictures). “The writing machine” was first published in 1973 and
contains the most important facts about each and every machine that was ever
made or patented. So, if you were a collector in the 1970s or 80s and wanted to
see a picture of a certain typewriter, instead of using Google, you
consulted Adler’s bible.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Many
machines in his book came out of Adler’s private collection. Some years after
publishing the book, Adler sold his collection to the Dutch friar Ferrerius. His collection formed the foundation of Scryption, a museum of
typewriters and other communication equipment. However, because of financial
trouble, Scryption no longer exists and the collection had to be partially
dismantled. One of the machines that had to be sold was the Yost 1 I bought
last week: the machine with an attitude.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">So, why the
attitude? Look into p. 177 of Adler’s “The writing machine” and you’ll see a
picture of a Yost 1. Although the picture is in black and white, the paintless
spot in the middle of the space bar reveals its true identity: it’s a forty
year old picture of the very same Yost 1 I bought last week! So, he may have an
attitude, but if you ask me, that’s well justified.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

For anyone who wondered why the last 2 weeks three (or more?) rare Liliputs have turned up in The Netherlands: it was a featured item in the Dutch version of the Antiques Roadshow, valued at 2000-2500 euros (if in working condition).</div>

"It's a Liliput machine, but not for a liliput price tag", Fred Kats (the specialist).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One week before the recordings of this show, I showed mr. Kats my Junior typewriter, see: <a href="http://schrijfmachine.blogspot.nl/2012/09/antiques-roadshow.html">http://schrijfmachine.blogspot.nl/2012/09/antiques-roadshow.html</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also asked him kindly to give some more attention to typewriters in future shows. It seems he listened to me!</div>

De waarde van een typemachine hangt af van veel
factoren. Allereerst is er een grote verscheidenheid aan merken en modellen. Van
veel merken zijn er, zelfs al vóór de Tweede Wereldoorlog, letterlijk miljoenen
verkocht. Veruit de meeste typemachines in Nederland zijn dan ook niet
verzamelwaardig. Dat wil zeggen: er zal normaliter niemand bereid zijn er meer
dan 50 euro voor te geven; meestal (fors) minder en vaak helemaal niets. Hieronder
geef ik een (niet volledige) lijst van typemachines die respectievelijk niets, een paar
tientjes, of 100 euro of meer waard zijn. </div>

<span lang="NL">De meeste verzamelaars willen merken en
modellen met een <u>apart mechanisme</u>, zoals typemachines met typearmpjes die niet
van voren, maar van boven, achter of onder tegen de rol slaan, of die met een
typewiel of ander element de letters op het papier zet. Deze machines zijn
meestal al wat meer waard. Een Hammond, The Noiseless, Mignon, Blickensderfer,
Empire, Oliver, Imperial A t/m D, Rofa, Remington (onderaanslag), Smith Premier
(onderaanslag) of Yost (onderaanslag) brengt op Marktplaats al gauw meer dan 50
euro op, mits de typemachine in goede staat is. Maar ook dan zijn het model,
het serienummer en andere details (bijvoorbeeld de kleur of het
toetsenbordtype) belangrijk bij het preciezer kunnen bepalen van de waarde. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Today, I had the opportunity to take a look at the past, at the <a href="http://www.breker.com/english/index.htm" target="_blank">Breker auction</a> of office antiques in Cologne, Germany. It was my first time at an offline auction, and well, it was quite an experience!<br />
<br />
According to some senior fellow collectors, in the old days Breker mainly sold typewriters. Now they sell almost any office equipment but typewriters. Of in total 707 objects, only 18 included typewriters. I wanted to have a go for the Pittsburg 10, but after inspecting it before the auction, I decided it wasn't worth the opening bid of 280 euros: it was rusty and defect.<br />
<br />
One of the first lots under the hammer was an Enigma Type A (estimate 15.000-25.000 euros), which was sold for a staggering 35.000 euros. And this was only "one of the highlights"! Just one minute later we discovered why there were so many cameras filming the event: a real Apple 1 was up for sale (estimate 120.000-200.000 euros).<br />

The opening bid was 70.000 euros. Two anonymous phone-bidders were really going for it and within moments the 200.000 euros barrier was passed. The tension in the room increased with every increment of 20.000 euros. It was only at 400.000 euros (!) that one of the bidders had to pass. When the item was hammered down we applauded, hardly believing what we'd just witnessed. I wonder who bought the item!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.euronews.com/2012/11/24/apple-one-sells-for-400000/" target="_blank">Here</a> is a video about today's auction of the Apple 1 (in English).<br />
<br />
After half of the public and all cameras had left the room, the typewriters were up for auction. Three very nice colored Underwood portables were sold for only 100 euros: a Smith Premier 1 reached a hammer price of 240 euros; a beautiful Crandall remained unsold (opening bid 3.800 euros), and "my" Pittsburg changed owners for 750 euros. Way too much if you ask me. <a href="http://www.liveauctioneers.com/catalog/33758_science-and-technology-fine-toys-and-automata/page2" target="_blank">Here</a> you can find the list of all realized prices. Scroll down to item 66 and onwards to see the typewriters.<br />
<br />
After the auction, Jos Legrand advised me to drive to a meeting of German typewriter collectors at the local Tennis Club. He told me some collectors would sell typewriters out of the trunk of their cars. I expected to find some Coronas/Underwoods/Remingtons, and maybe (if lucky) some Blicks, Yösts or Hammonds. Well... I was wrong!<br />
<br />
There were around 20 or 30 cars with each around 5 or 10 typewriters. I spotted a Blickensderfer, Oliver, Densmore and Franklin in the first car. That was promising! I started walking and could not believe my eyes: a Columbia 2, a North's, a Fitch, a Gardner, all in open car trunks, barely protected against the cold German weather... The Fitch (my dream machine) had a 13.000 euro price tag. I wonder whether there were people walking around there ready to pay that kind of money out of their pocket.<br />
<br />
Inside the Tennis Club I met Wolfgang Mock and Norbert Schwarz of <a href="http://www.ifhb.de/vorstand.php" target="_blank">Historische Bürowelt</a> (HBW). I bought all 80-something past issues of HBW from Wolfgang and subscribed as a member (I guess I really have to improve my German now).<br />
<br />
In the back of the room, three fully restored typewriters were standing on a table: a North's, an Emerson and a Sholes Visible, all in mint condition (or even better). After following Richard Polt's very entertaining and interesting <a href="http://writingball.blogspot.nl/2012/10/sholes-visible-resurrection.html" target="_blank">blog series about the restoration of his Sholes Visible</a>, I couldn't resist asking the owner to give me a live demonstration of the mechanism of this beautiful typewriter. Now I finally understand how it works! The owner, by the way, appeared to be Hermann Kerz, who has restored many typewriters to mint condition. Very impressive.<br />
<br />
It was very nice to have witnessed a real offline auction, but I think next time I'll drive directly to the meeting of German collectors. I didn't know there are so many fellow collectors on such short driving distance. Ah, and next time, I'll definitely bring my camera...<br />
