I’ll be biased because it is a Polish typewriter in my hometown, but that logo!!! (One of many examples of munitions factories starting making typewriters, including of course Remington.)pic.twitter.com/eT87UKclYF

The classic beige IBM Model F/M keyboards came with lesser-known industrial variants with darker cases that could better deal with dirt and grime, and it’s a great example how sometimes just one small unexpected design change can result in a much more attractive product.pic.twitter.com/PkqPcmnDqK
This thing is so *cute*, I cannot help but laugh. http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_690135 …pic.twitter.com/2Dy7N0VDZX
Diehl Alphatronic from 1970s – a rare computer from a German arms maker, and a rare green keyboard with very weird (but pretty) keys. (If Alphatronic sounds cool to you, you might like the company’s overall naming scheme: http://www.calcuseum.com/SCRAPBOOK/BRAND/DIEHL-CALCULATING-SYSTEMS/1.htm …)pic.twitter.com/s85OdgmogM
Is it time for Olivetti again? This is Olivetti Editor 2 from 1968, available in six colours. That white spacebar!pic.twitter.com/eNUmSuj7vM
A classic telephone keypad with a few extra keys for Autovon, an American military telephone system. I love all of those letterforms. The new keys? “After a nuclear attack,” you could press P to get a priority phone call even if the lines were busy. https://www.cryptomuseum.com/phone/autovon/index.htm …pic.twitter.com/oxcJlrW20M
Presumably in the event of such an attack, you would push FO (Flash Override) not the lowly P key.
This is explained in more detail on the page I linked to.
