The type of a typewriter that I once threw away shows up on that site twice ... and it was the author's first in his collection.
That makes me feel a bit ashamed ...

I hammered out my dissertation on a Royal manual typewriter. I think it was the Royal Quiet DeLuxe, which was made in 1952. I actually rented it during my undergrad years and finally purchased it to lug along to grad school.
My favorite on the museum site is the Blickensderfer No. 5; I like the name, appearance and design. There are a number of other gems as well, including bizarre ones like the Caligraph with that enormous armrest, and the Underwood with a 26-inch carriage -- like a widescreen distortion of an otherwise fairly standard typewriter.
I wonder if anyone in the late 1890s ever complained, "You never blickensderf and you never send flowers...." ?
