Why a vintage typewriter?
In the era of digital ‘clouds’, it’s refreshing to watch words come alive on paper in real time.
It creates deeper thinking, real connections, and better writing.
That’s why we’ve been rescuing machines from a dismal fate in attics and basements and shipping them to eager analog creators since 2016.
The original DISTRACTION-FREE writing experience.
Imagine freedom from distraction, from internet, from screens.
And with PEACE OF MIND.
Without the hassle of shady sellers, glitchy machines, shoddy ‘refurbishments’.

They work like a charm, just have a different feel and different features and have an older feel. They may not be as fast or fluid as the newer machines.
