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.

Impressive, beautiful display!
ResponderBorrarThanks, by the way, for your great article on the Velograph in the new ETCetera. Gut gemacht.
Many thanks, Richard!
BorrarWonderful set-up! And great collection.
ResponderBorrarIs that a cash register in front of the other display?
Yes it is. Apart from typewriters, Helmut's collection is also calculating machines, slide rulers, accessories of various kind. He presented me with a very nicely made catalogue, one more thing I wish I had for my own collection...
BorrarOh that's nice! Must've felt like a real museum walking around his collection with that catalog.
