Few of us use manual typewriters for business anymore. But there are a few people who use them.
From comments to a previous “typewriter of the moment” post:
It is so thrilling to see how the ‘little’ things such as our manual typewriter can connect people in far away places to real feelings! They are lucky kids indeed but how lucky are we that we get to be a part of it :) If you have a manual typewriter that you would like to see used and loved by “generation ?” feel free to send it to us. One just is not enough!

So, if you’ve got a working typewriter in your attic or basement, or in your office acting as a paperweight, now you know where to send it — I’ll wager Sarah will give you a receipt so you can deduct the value of the machine from your income taxes.
But even if there were no deduction, wouldn’t the interest of the kids be enough?

Great finds! Thank you.
Maybe Arlo or Pete would have a bead on a Woody Guthrie typewriter, and maybe each of them would have one . . .

I did find these pictures of a Mark Twain typewriter and a Nietzche typewriter.

For your typewriter series, maybe you could find a typewriter used by Woody Guthrie. The only picture I found is one of his friend Alan Lomax using one. Maybe Woody used it too. Apparently he really like to write on a typewriter.
