The Collection

A Glimpse Into the Past... 

     My dad and I have always been going to yard sales and flea markets. Every now and then, we would see a typewriter. He explained to me what a typewriter was. Of course, I was young, and had never seen one before, or know what it was. When I saw one of these machines, I became fascinated by it, and how they were used to type everything from documents to a friendly letter. I started gathering a machine here and there, just to compare between the two. Now, seven years later, my collection has grown. I currently have 158 typewriters, along with a few other types of machines.

     To read my entire collecting story, click the link at the top of the page titled Newspaper Article to see the article of my collection that appeared on the front page of my local newspaper.

     To see other objects pertaining to typewriters, click the link at the top of the page title Typewriter Memorabilia.

     When people hear that I collect these antique machines, they often ask me questions. Since I hear the same questions over and over, I have dedicated an entire page to them. To read these frequently asked questions, click the FAQ link at the top of the page.

     To contact me, if you have any information on typewriters, any comments, or if you are looking into buying any machines I have, click the link at the top of the page titled Contact, or scroll to the very bottom of this page.

     On this page, you can click on the name of any typewriter and a picture of that machine will come up. I hope you enjoy the Morton Typewriter Collection!
