The Budget Typewriter — Your Perfect First Machine
A beautiful, fully serviced typewriter from the golden era — without the large investment. Ideal for any writer ready to start typing.
Each machine is selected from available inventory, so there will be variations in style, colour, typeface, and model. If you need something specific, get in touch via the contact form or add a note to your order. Separate listings are also available for most of the machines shown in the images.
Choose Your Condition
| Tier | What You Get |
|---|---|
| Excellent | The best machines from our inventory — well-cared for and loved. Very slight signs of use, as you’d expect from something decades old. 1-year warranty. |
| Best A++ | Time-capsule quality. If you order Best, we’ll reserve the next one for you. 3-year warranty. |
Both tiers include a lifetime trade-in policy — use it for as long as you need, then trade up.
