Composition of your collections...by decade-made.

Thought it might be fun for Members to list their typewriters by "decade-made".

Here is my collection composition :

1940's - I typewriter

1950's - 15 typewriters

1960's - 33 typewriters

1970's - 22 typewriters

1980's - 3 typewriters

And slightly related, Olympia machines are the largest representation in my collection with 22 machines made by Olympia.

I have significantly downsized my collection over the last 6 years, and the range has narrowed from where it was at its peak; but of the remaining 26, it consists of:
1920's: 5
1930's: 15
1940's: 4
1950's: 2
Well over half are Royals. My collection was probably the most balanced when I got down to around 50, but then I sort of abandoned balance and just went with favorites.

This is an interesting way to look at them. For me, though, it reflects more on availability than on personal preferences.
