Typewriters
Oh, typewriters. How we love their sound, the rhythmic click-clack of a writer burning the midnight oil on an old Smith-Corona. We don't know about you, but we are always keeping our eye out on those vintage typewriters on ebay, hoping to win that bid on that sexy red machine that caught our eye.
One of our favorite new discoveries is The Virtual Typewriter Museum, a compendium of information about the history of this machine by looking at its timeline, typewriter brands, collections, and historical photographs.
The typewriter is one of the great inventions of 19th Century communications technology. Between the 1860s and 1920s engineers, inventors and even carpenters invested all their creativity in the development of the ultimate writing machine. This virtual museum, that is based on private collections of antique typewriters from around the world, is a tribute to their ingenuity.
Take a look inside.
