Crandall Visible #4
Here's a look at our ever growing collection! We're closing in on 400 different machines so we'll be adding often to get them all up there. Once they're all up, we'll add new ones as they come in. The serial number of each machine, when available, is after the machines name.
Some of these machines are on the other pages of our site with descriptions. These are denoted with an asterisk. To return to the home page where you can access the other pages, click here. After viewing a picture, use your browsers 'back' button to return to this list. After the typewriters are some of the non-typewriter items in our collection. Select machines on the other pages also have video to show you how they work! These are noted here with 'video' in italics.
Lastly, if you were thinking of offering us a machine but you see it on this list, don't let that stop you! Your machine may be an upgrade for the one we have or it could even be slightly different! Duplicates are always welcomed anyway as they're good for trading with other collectors for machines we may not have yet... and there are PLENTY of those! Thank you to our fellow collectors, relatives, dealers, pickers and everyone else who has helped us so far- we couldn't have done it without you!
Please remember that images and descriptions appearing on these pages may not be used elsewhere without permission. Last time we added to the museum was 4/5/00.

WHATZIT??? It's a knee operated shift device! Click here to see it on the machine.
Patented December 1, 1885 by C. S. Southworth of Connecticut. It was intended for use on the Remington Standard Typewriter to facilitate the shift action while typing for those who were "maimed or blind" and deemed "unnecessary to those who have full
use of their eyes and hands, although some prefer to adopt it". Here's one collectors take on it (click).
