Thanks for the info. A good portable manual typewriter has been a quest for me, and those thoughts are insightful.
I send postcards when I travel, and sometimes when I am out and about. I have dysgraphia and my handwriting is illegible. I found long ago, that a physical object is not permanent, can have a lot of emotional impact. Also, my spouse has saved every one, from long before we even dated.
I use a typewriter everyday, not because it is arcane, but because it is practical. I can write a note on just the right amount of paper, and I can use all sorts of paper that my printer would be irritated at.
This little gem is awesome, but likely if found in the wild, expensive and likely in need of a lot of refurbishment. Also, I an object like this, is purely a want, and not a need, as I am not traveling.
