Order this typewriter today, and we will send out a beautiful, working specimen of this model in about 2 weeks.

It won't be this exact machine, and there may be slight variations. But it will be the same shape, color, etc, in VERY similar condition. I am an expert at reconditioning these models, and have a slew of parts machines to draw from to replace damaged pieces.

Pictures are of recently sold machines.

Here is an example of machine that we recently sold:

This is a gorgeous Underwood / Remington Noiseless typewriter. This model hails from around 1935. The earlier models (like this) were of better quality, in my opinion. They include beautiful attention to detail that the later did not, like the round, ‘glass’ keys, and the modernist fluted rib across the front of the machine.

Not only is this a world-class writing machine, it also makes for a stunning display piece and is sure to ignite inspiring conversations all around.

This noiseless has a smaller carriage return lever which folds down when he machine is in its case. This lever can be found on earlier Remington and Noiseless machines.

The case is about 2 inches shorter than the Noislesses from the 40's, so it's a lower profile machine.

This is a carriage shifted machine, like other machines of the era. The shift and shift lock work well.

This typewriter has beautiful typing action. While not quite as 'quiet' as later models, the typing sound is pleasant and hypnotic; in case you need to enter one of those trances where the muse comes up and whispers in your ear. The type slugs appear to have been used very little.

The bell at the end of the link rings clearly.

The decals on the front and in the rear are in excellent condition.

All of the features work as originally designed.

THE CLASSIC TYPEWRITER PROCESS

Working Guarantee

(Or: How dare we guarantee a 50 or 60 year old machine?)

Each machine is carefully screened for quality and reliability.

Each machine passes a rigorous 14 point mechanical inspection.

Each machine is cleaned, serviced, and adjusted so that it functions as it was designed to.

Each machine is THOROUGHLY tested by a writer. (Usually people who say a typewriter ‘works’ haven’t tested most of its most important features. Sometimes the type bars move but are misaligned; sometimes the carriage won’t advance; sometimes lesser-used keys stick; sometimes whole pieces are missing, etc). If it is found to need work, we have technicians with 40 years of experience.

If it is found to be acceptable…

Each machine is described in vivid detail and carefully photographed from every angle in high resolution so you know exactly what you’re getting.

Each machine is cleaned and carefully packaged for safe shipment (believe it or not, improper shipping is the MOST COMMON CAUSE OF DAMAGE for a vintage typewriter).

FAQ

When will I get my machine?

We ship your writing machine in 2-3 weeks, via UPS ground. (To the US. International shipping requires a few days more, USPS International services).

What takes that long?

We sell machines by model, so it takes take a machine out of inventory that matches your specs, and inspect, clean, and service it.

Can I just find a used machine somewhere instead?

Of course! We encourage you to explore the world. However, it won't quite work right. this is the nature of a machine sitting for decades.

If you need to get to writing, and spare yourself many nights of research and tinkering, we have the solution.

What about 'refurbished' machines on other vintage sites?

Usually, they are just cleaned up slightly and shipped out. They don't usually work 100% (more like 80%). This is because most people have never used a writing machine, so they don't know how it is supposed to work! They see an opportunity to buy a vintage machine and 'flip it', however... you get what you pay for, as the old adage goes!

Why do you charge X?

Excellent question!

Priceless heirloom, endless inspiration, the stuff of dreams.

You’ll pass it to your children or into the annals of history.

Ask yourself what this will bring you, and what you could create with it, and you’ll have answered your question.
