Mechanical typewriters

"Look at that machine.

I like that you have to write
a bit slower on a manual.

I like the way it sounds.

I like the way the letters
bite into the paper.

I like that you can feel
there’s a genuine human being
doing the work." Morgan Freeman - the magic of Belle Isle

Tonka Toys - proper ones made out of pressed steel.
