About the collector
My name is Tyler Menard and I have been collecting early typewriters for over fifteen years now. My love for antique typewriters began by accident when I spotted a Blickensderfer No. 7 on a shelf in an antique shop. I was intrigued instantly, brought it home, and couldn't take my eyes off of it. Now, after a lot of time and well over 1,000 typewriters owned, here we are.
My goal is to have one of the most comprehensive collections of early American and European typewriters. I tend to stick to the machines from the golden age of manufacturing, or as Martin Howard calls it in Doug Nichol's California Typewriter; the "wild west of typewriters".
Please feel free to visit the "Collection" page to see some of what I have. If you have any questions, comments, or have a typewriter for sale, please visit the "Contact" page.
