Let customers speak for us
These are the best typewriters on the market today. Meticulously restored, and cleaned, and they are working like they are brand new. I've bought two so far and will buy more from here in the future!
This is a gorgeous typewriter and looks brand new.
I am delighted with my rare Pluma 22 typewriter. It arrived in timely fashion, well-packed, and in full working order with its case and cover and two working ribbons. The price was not cheap, but reasonable for a typer that rarely turns up in the UK, and in full working condition despite being from the late 1960s. Seller was helpful. Only issue, if you're buying from the UK, they send via FedEx who will charge you a hefty tax and handling fee of 20-25%, so you need to factor this into the price if you're buying from another country. Seller did provide a discount to ease that blow. I'm very happy with my typewriter and would buy from them again.
El RastronAntiques did a fantastic job of describing their typewriter and delivering it. Lots of communication along the way assured me that they are reliable and that my item would arrive as expected.
My typewriter arrived as promised; quickly and in working order.
It looks brand new! From Spain to North Carolina, I’m happily amazed.
Olympia Traveller Deluxe, German, 1970s, securely packed, arrived intact and in perfect working order, reconditioned like new, a fully working antique, a small machine that meets my immediate need, making a one-off micro-book of 100 of my own haikus, written for this express purpose, arranged in used teabags sealed in beeswax and bound in cloth covers.
Great service and communication. Superb packing and delivery.

Evgny was great from beginning to end in the purchasing of this typewriter. The shipping was fast and reliable. I highly recommend doing business with this company!!!
Excellent service. The typewriter was as described, and was sent carefully packaged to avoid damages.
Works perfectly! Arrived safely and well packaged.
Some universal ribbon spools may slip if they don't lock into the slot on the machine. I held mine in place with a Doonail sticker and everything is working perfectly.
