The models

Typewriters, model by model

Every model has its own page: its history, how it types, the ribbon that suits it, and the restored machines currently available at the workshop. Everything you need to recognise a machine before you buy it.

The Hermes Baby was designed to lie flat in a suitcase.

  • Its ribbon

    The reference that fits it, available at the workshop, and how to change it without any tools.

  • Its machines

    The machines of this model currently restored, with their colour, keyboard layout and price.

Once you've chosen a model

All that's left is to pick the colour and the keyboard layout. Each page lists the machines of that model that are ready to ship today, with their price. The shop, for its part, shows them all together.
