I only rarely get the chance to customize Lettera 22. They are a bit of a rarity and it's unfortunate because they are SUCH GOOD typewriters to write with. They are in my top 5 of best typewriters. The fluency with which you can write on a Lettera 22 is extremely high and personally I love using them to write with. Light typing action and with an interesting feel of the keys bouncing back quite fast, allowing for a very smooth writing experience.

Not only that, but just a few years after being brought to market, it already won the prize for the best designed machine of 100 years. EVEN BETTER! I will paint it for you. No more brown or pale blue (the blue looks pretty good, but sometimes it's a bit damaged). Rather, if you want them in green, yellow, pink or purple, don't hesitate and just send me a message. I'm sure we'll be able to get you the machine that is right for you.

One very important thing. These machines are made to order, which means that the pictures you see here are not the machine that I have ready for you. I always have a good handful of this model in their original colors, but they all small differences in the keyboard layout or keyshape. If you are looking for something specific, please message me and I'll find the right one for you, and if you don't mind as long as it's QWERTY (which is the most important thing), then you can just order the machine and I'll get you something beautiful.

If you have any questions. Please ask away and we will gladly answer all of them.

Don't get it wet, don't let too much dust into the machine (so if you're not using it, putting it back in the case is not a bad idea, otherwise you should dust it off every once in a while).

Otherwise it barely needs any maintenance. A drip of oil once in a blue moon is about all it takes. These machines were made to last. Most of them have been around longer than you have. As long as you don't start throwing them around, they'll keep working for at least a few decades.

Take that, iPhone!

Couldn't be happier with my Lettera 35. Packaging was excellent, shipping was fast, and — most importantly — the thing feels like a dream to type on. Thanks!
