Our man in Victoria, Michael Klein (occasional guest columnist with his Typewriter Technician recollections) has alerted me to a display of typewriters in Melbourne.

No real antiques: nothing earlier
than about 1925." Despite this claim, Michael's son took photos of some being exhibited, and they include a Featherweight Blickensderfer that is definitely pre-1925:

I think that's a Coxhead Varityper- a descendant of the Hammond. It looks quite complicated to use!
