Ok, in an effort to narrow things down...

I prefer portable, as desktop real estate is precious.

I would like something 1930s-1950s as from what I’m seeing I prefer these aesthetically speaking.

I would like something not finicky, as I have neither the experience or time to make regular repairs—light maintenance and cleaning is fine.

Bonus points for interesting fonts.

As I alluded to in a previous post, I picked up this 1954 Olympia SM3 a couple weeks ago. I finally got to sit down today and type a little with her. I have never used a manual typewriter before, but I found the experience rather intuitive--thanks perhaps to fine German engineering?

In short, I love it.

I've attached some pictures for your viewing pleasure. Feel free to comment on the typeface. If you have suggestions on how to clean it up, or suggestions for my technique, I'd love to hear them.   

So...

I've received my first typewriter, well packaged and ever so gently transported by FedEx.  It's a 1954 Olympia SM3 in olive green, purchased from a dealer in Nebraska, perhaps for more than I should have paid, but not excessively so. Last night I sat at the kitchen table, opened the slightly worn, but still sturdy formed wood case, and their she lay. I inserted a fresh piece of inkjet paper, plied her keys, and was rewarded with steady tap-tapping.

I've purchased her to document my (admittedly marginal) poetry, with some sense of significance, panache, and style. She seems well suited to the task.

However, I've realized that poet and typewriter are only 2/3 of the equation.  Could someone school me, (or direct me to a resource), regarding different papers of perhaps archival(?) quality?

Regards,

Robert
