Purchased 4.5.25 at an antique mall in Shrewsbury, PA. We just attended the Y.E.T.I. Type-In at a nearby library, where we typed on an Italian-made model 18. We added it to our watch list and were surprised to find one within the hour! It definitely needs a new ribbon, and some sort of adjustment. Our first "Made in Italy" typewriter. Shield-shaped keys. #Underwood #ultra #beige #brown #Italy

Started collecting in March 2021 when an Olympia SM3 caught my eye at a thrift store. By May 2021, I was up to nine. By September 2021, my husband jumped in to the pool with both feet and our collection grew to 37. Phew. By October 2022 we had 64. In 2023 we began attending and hosting events where we can share our collection with the community and other collectors. We've sold or given away over 40. Good times.
