My mother used an Underwood made in the 1930s. Manual not electric. I always wanted but someone else got to it before me. I guess I will have to go on eBay and find one.
Okay, my most used machine is a 1950 Underwood standard and the “youngest” is an Olivetti 21 that’s stiil over 45 years old. They work perfectly. I could list others.
My centerfire rifles range from 106 years old to 60 years old. They work perfectly and, like the typewriters, do their job superbly.
I value them for what they are and they are a pleasure to use. Maybe they are a personal example to follow.🙂
And in this time of ever increasing dependence on electronic whatevers, there is a certain satisfaction in being able to function well and comfortably when the power is off and the batteries are drained.

Ohhhhhhh, who’s a pretty boy? Isn’t he? Isn’t he!
Yes, I talk to typewriters like I talk to pets.
Looks like it needs a new ribbon, that or you’re typing too quietly.
“Is it obsolete if it still does what it’s supposed to do?”
–I feel precisely the same way about 1911’s.
