Who owns a typewriter as old as this one?

We live in a computer age. Everyone uses computers now and the thing of the past like a typewriter is usually put aside or hidden in a stock room. But somewhere in my husband’s office is this typewriter, still functional. Other offices still use typewriter. But seeing as old as this one, well i want to see an antique collector

What about you, do you have an old typewriter?

Yes I still have that kind of typewriter, and if I'm not mistaken it is also an Olympian brand. Part of my collection.

Yes, I have a couple of age-old typewriters at home. They work like a champ. However, because of the computer craze, I use typewriters sparingly.
