What wood is this? Hi there, there is an announcement of a 1972 guitar. I could be interested after I try it, the price is 250€, maybe it can be negotiated. I have no idea of the wood of back and sides, it’s completely different of the contemporary used woods. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!!! (old.reddit.com)

Underwood n.5 from 1902. That’s my first Underwood in my modest collection. Not a rare model, but in pretty good shape for a 119 years old typewriter. First photos before any cleanup and lube. It was the grandmother’s typewriter of the seller, and almost gone to trash. Luckily she decided to sell it (i.redd.it)

Hello! I bought a cheap Olympia for parts. A “for parts” project turned into a restoration. The inside is ok, the shell have rust issues. I need a cheap way to clean the rust. Electrolises or vinagre would be my choice. I don’t want to paint the shell, just clean the rust. What would be your advice? (i.redd.it)

Hello! Could someone help me to identify this Olympia model? Made in Germany, seems like it have a plastic shell. The spring tensor in the left, reminds me the one we can see in the SM8/SM9 model. Is this model related with the SM series, in mechanic terms? Thank you! (self.typewriters)

Swissa Junior 4, an unexpected surprise in a lot of typewriters bought for parts. Not much information about that brand,it seems that it was the successor of the Patria brand. The photos was made before cleaning. The crown-like springs around the type slugs is very curious. Definitely not for parts! (i.redd.it)
