A Most Crowned Typewriter






Typed on my lovely Imperial De Luxe 5

Robert Messenger featured my Imperial on his post about Imperial Portable Typewriters.

  1. That is a nice looking machine. I like the basic math keyboard. I'm a sucker for special type!

  2. Wow!! A lucky, lucky find. I agree with you, these nearly never turn up in the US. But it has a $ sign, indicating that it was made for export -- either to the US or (I think this is more likely) Canada.

    Click here for my own impressions of the Good Companion 5 (same model, different name) which I imported from the UK. I agree that it's an excellent typewriter. I wish I had the lovely streamlined case for it.

    There's a good reason it feels like a Torpedo: I think it IS one, or at least a descendant of one. Read all the comments on my post for further info.
