Description:

2026-JUN-05, Original Gallery Creation. This appears to be the only Standard Folding typewriter on offer on US eBay for the moment; although I have seen 3-4 simultaneous listings at times, in the past few months that I have been trawling eBay. This one, #9919, is listed by "huntercollection", based in Bassu, France, and naturally has an AZERTY keyboard. The Hunter Collection seems to consist of hundreds of typewriters being listed on eBay at the current time, usually for premium prices. This particular machine has an asking price of $1019.08 USD currently, but there is also a "Make an Offer" option. The European listing for this machine is asking 799 euro at the moment. This one comes with a case, with an Eagle Lock latch (Terryville, CT), same as the case for my SF#1, S/N 5147.

My interest in typewriters started in 1997, when I was in graduate school at the University of Georgia. I purchased and read Darryl Rehr's book, joined ETC, and started reaching out to known collectors. I had several email interchanges with Richard Polt dating from that period. I also bought some of my first machines from Bob Aubert, and visited him at his home twice. After marriage and relocation to New England, I continued visiting antique shops and eBay, until other priorities put my typewriter hobby on hiatus around 2008.

In late 2024, I started up again, working on my machines and having some of them serviced professionally by New England Typewriter (NET) LLC (Merrimack, NH), until they closed their doors in December of 2025. Since mid-2025, I have been adding to my collection again, first with a Hermes 3000 purchase from NET, then with various auctions and purchases on eBay, when I find something that catches my eye.
