Varityping in Dietwil

Dietwil, Switzerland, has proven to be an epicentre of typewriter science. Yesterday we set out to explore Alfred's Varityper, # 512326 20. There was a question mark as to its functionality at first, but we gradually lifted the cobwebs and found it working.

See a few impressions of the day. And Varityper?? See Richard's page for details.

A glimpse of Blick heaven

I recently had occasion to re-visit the most excellent Egarter typewriter collection in Carinthia, Austria. Helmut was so kind as to show me around, and this time we had a closer look at his extended Blick collection. This was perfect, as I had recently acquired a Blick, and, after a closer look at it, am now completely enchanted by these wonderful little and yet perfect typers. Here is a few impressions, with thanks to Helmut.

Blick No. 5, # 4828, 1893. One of the first 5000 Blicks made! The decal is not original.
