Many factors play a part in determining the value of a typewriter. Please visit the Price Guide for more information.

Please visit the Models page to determine when your Oliver model was manufactured.

It is possible! Please check out the Shop to browse my parts inventory.

Of course! I am always on the search for my own collection, as well as for others interested in specific models.

I usually have a few Olivers for sale at any given time. Please reach out to me on the About & Contact page to learn more.

I clean and repair machines in my collection to keep them relatively functional. I typically avoid restoration, such as painting or nickel plating, as I prefer to preserve the original factory materials to maintain the machines’ authenticity.

I do not repair machines outside of my collection.

The current count is 74 Olivers — 52 downstrike, 18 portable, and 4 frontstrike desktop machines.

My collection is currently not publicly displayed. However, if you are interested in seeing the collection, I would be more than happy to arrange a private showing.
