You're in peril.

1954 Royal HHP brown desktop professional typewriter with green keys.  $120. ~$35 shipping depending on distance. View more details on Craigslist here.

It’s time to reduce our typewriter collection!  As you can imagine for people who own 10 typewriters (mostly desktops) in a one bedroom apartment, they are difficult to part with and we want to be sure they go to good homes and will see some use (rather than being dissected for parts, jewelry, or the like). Why are we parting with such treasures, you wonder?  Space, for one, but we also have a number of other models passed down from grandparents, etc. that have higher sentimental value.

We’ve listed them on Craigslist hoping we won’t have to ship them, so especially if you’re in the Birmingham area and could use a typewriter in your life, please get in touch!  We will also ship to good homes.

Drop me an email and let me know you’re a tumblr reader if you’re interested!

Big Bertha the Indomitable. What few HHP’s that I’ve seen out there were so thoroughly used that they’ve got at least 10% of the logo rubbed off of the back. If you treat this right once, it’ll treat you right forever.

I’m in Montgomery regularly if the Birmingham area isn’t big enough for you.
