The Finest European Typewriters—Perfectly Restored
We search the marketplaces of Europe for the finest examples of European typewriters from the 1940s to the 1960s (sometimes earlier or later for special machines). European typewriter manufacturing during this period was marked by a combination of excellent engineering and beautiful aesthetic considerations. They express a nearly perfect blend of functionality and beauty. The most popular European brands: Hermes, Olympia, Princess, Triumph, Olivetti, Erika, Voss, Alpina, Rheinmetall and others, are rightly honoured by typewriter collectors and users as some of the finest machines ever made. They are not cheap now, and were quite expensive to buy when new. Buying a high-quality typewriter now is a sound investment; the best brands in the best condition (which is what we offer) will retain their value over time to other collectors and users.
TYPEWRITERS
I have been a typewriter collector for almost 50 years and in 2016 began selling typewriters from my collection and others that I was able to find throughout Europe. Typewriters are sourced from markets, individuals and other collectors throughout the Netherlands, in France, in Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain and elsewhere.
After acquisition, the typewriters are thoroughly tested, cleaned and serviced (usually only slight adjustments are necessary because we seek to buy only top-quality, excellent condition used typewriters). Every effort is made to ensure that the photographs are true to the colour of the typewriter and that they show any cosmetic or other defects.
When you buy from Acme, you can be assured that what you are receiving is what you expected.
We have a growing list of satisfied customers and are proud of the reputation that we have gained for quality European typewriters at a fair price.
