      A classic, small Mercedes Selekta from 1930s, with Russian legends and typebars. A keyboard and case this shiny was a serious ergonomic nightmare and there’s a reason we moved away from these – but it looks amazing in photos!pic.twitter.com/sMBdpnqknZ

      A rather uncommon stenotyping keyboard known as Princess-Steno. It had a bit of a career on German TV: https://twitter.com/SimplySteno/status/1019997657048088576 …pic.twitter.com/uWdPqFFMaW

      Oh, wow. Honeywell H-632 from 1968. I know its keyboard is a repackaged Teletype 33, but look at all that YELLOW.pic.twitter.com/Hk9V5xGazu

      I don’t know how many people will like the appearance of this brutalist 1960s electric typewriter… but I do love it a lot.pic.twitter.com/pWiGnAgKOY

      I'd love to have one, if I had the space. (I already have two Selectrics)

      A Selectric II and a Model 72 Selectric I, the "small" 11-inch version.

      Those are literally the best two Selectric models ever made. Well done.

          I got them both locally - I shipped the II off to an ex-IBM tech in Chicago to get refurbished (it's painted bright yellow now, not a factory color). The model 72 came off Craigslist, I think I paid $25 and then another $50 or so for a tuneup.

          They're both great machines to use, even for a mediocre typist like me.
