I have been trying to find at least a photo of this make and model of typewriter for a while. I was wondering if my memory wasn't correct and it was another brand as all the Commodores I saw were more like 1960/70s models. It's a sentimental thing for me ... this was the first typewriter that I saw and used at my grandparents house. I was very young, maybe four or five and have been fascinated with typewriters and touch-typing ever since. I was probably in my twenties when I asked Grandpa where the typewriter was and he told me that he didn't think anyone would have wanted it and put it out on hard rubbish collection just the week before! So, thanks for the memories!Brett Manuelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-50026173482908245112018-05-13T00:11:26.644+10:002018-05-13T00:11:26.644+10:00Hi.

My name is Claudio Sánchez.<br /><br /><br />I'm member of Commodore International Historical Society, a facebook group devoted to the history of Commodore Bussiness Machines, focused in the company itself and their early history and products.<br /><br />As the early years of what became Commodore (that started as "Everest Office Machine") was in the typewriters and adding machines business, for information about it, typewriters must be searched.<br /><br />In this case, I found this excellent blog of you and this particular machine came to my attention because of the logo it has. <br /><br />As you tell in the post, you donated the machine to this museum, and I'd like to know if you could provide me with a higher resolution picture of the machine, just to be able to focus in the logo with higher quality.<br /><br />Thanks for your time reading this, and your best efforts trying to help me.<br /><br />Sincerely your<br /><br />Claudio Sánchez.Claudio Sánchezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12471321906553509593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-26897423505480421152013-03-01T11:18:23.171+11:002013-03-01T11:18:23.171+11:00When I saw the title I wondered if it was the pred...When I saw the title I wondered if it was the predecessor to Commodore computers. Thanks for the great history. Amazingly Olivetti got into word processors and PCs and went under too. Maybe computers were not for the typewriter companies to make.<br />Commodore is still around, but I do not think it is the original company.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.com
