175 tiny typewriters. The owners of this little collection, Mr and Mrs Tynietype, are seen in the first image, sitting on their sofa with their Lab Nip. Mr Tynietype is holding the Blick 5 he calls Tuck.

To paraphrase Jennifer Coolidge's character from A Mighty Wind:
"Thank God for the tiny model typewriters. You know? If they didn't have the model typewriters, they wouldn't have gotten the idea for the big typewriters."
I have a question. I am looking for a really small typewriter that I can take with my traveling. I would be mostly using it to write 1 sentence notes and hand it to people on the bus. I was hoping that you might have more info about what model I should look for. Thanks a lot!

Super cute! I have a few of these too -- such as 2 mini-Hammonds and a "Renington" pencil sharpener.
ReplyDeleteA delightful, wide-ranging collection, fun to look at.
ReplyDeleteCool! I didn't even know they make/made these tiny typewriters from real models. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteWho knew? Tiny typewriters! What fun!

It's not the size of your typewriter...it's what you write with it.
