C: Well...I don't see too many people collecting typewriters (I
have an IBM from 1951, couldn't get 25$ for it). I mean there are
typewriter collectors no doubt. But a unit that sports an IBM
monniker??? The junction of those 2 hobbies (puters and copiers)
doesn't arouse the interest of anyone???
Actually, typewriter collecting is a rather HUGE hobby.
One of my favorite stores in Portland specializes in two things,
traditional Cameras & Darkroom equipment, and Typewriters.
