we have a unique inventory of portable typewriters at a variety of prices. whether you are looking for a solid manual typewriter for your correspondent needs or simply a classic machine for display, we can help you find the right one for your style and needs. due to the size and high turn-around of our inventory, it is impossible to list every machine we have on our website, but please feel free to get in touch or visit us Saturdays & Sundays at the Brooklyn Flea.
