Re: Composition of your typewriter collection

I like Uwe's percentage list.  I just generated one for my collection.  However, as I haven't entered several of the late model wedges, it isn't all-inclusive.

Smith-Corona     20.93%
Olympia     20.93%
Royal     16.28 %
Smith Premier     16.28%
Underwood     8.14%
Remington     8.14%
L.C. Smith     2.33%
Corona     2.33%
Hall (Braille)     1.16%
Fox     1.16%
Hammond     1.16%
Oliver     1.16%


Smith Premier typewriters are cool!

...the math tells me that you have 86 typewriters (using a reasonable assumption).

Some of us collect calculators as well as typewriters.
