We often get questions about typewriters - which is great because people are interested in typewriters and analog writing! To encourage and enable this, I'll be continually updating this page with curated, helpful content from the Typosphere to guide you along your typewriter journey.
Check back here for updates.
The typewriter community is notoriously generous and every day more knowledge is shared. Joe Van Cleeve has been a pioneer in this regard and we respect all of what he has contributed.
The great news is that typewriter ribbon, that will fit most machines, is readily available. We no longer carry ribbon at our retail locations. However, you have great options to go direct to the makers. Here are a few we recommend. By the way, the Paper Seahorse / Frivolous Dry Goods Typewriter was made custom for us by Baco, and came in beautuful coplors ferom blue, green, purple orage and more.
