Although typewriters haven't been used much since the onslaught of computer word processors, history buffs, pretentious writers (no offense!) and machine enthusiasts still drool over the sight of the vintage mechanical masterpiece invented in 1870.
We hit the motherload of vintage decorative awesomeness at Fab.com, a flash sale site that is becoming a daily design destination for those with a good eye. Fab.com prides itself in curating the best of what's out there from home décor to T-shirts. And we'd have to agree, especially after seeing these 12 sexy typewriters.
This one is a 1940s Royal typewriter. A favorite with writers and journalists, the Quiet Deluxe's reputation as a dependable, tough and compact portable also made it Ernest Hemingway's preferred machine. This typewriter has been custom-painted by Kasbah Mod(ified).
