Almost immediately after the patent was granted Brown sold all rights to Lyman C. Brown is said to have been inspired when he first saw the Sholes & Glidden typewriter at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition of 1876. It was invented by Alexander Timothy Brown with the patent applied for in 1888 and issued in 1889. This machine is very attractive with its double keyboard. It is the only model that has two space bars. $375.00SOLDįrom This Olde Officecollection comes this 1st model of the Smith Premier typewriter featuring nickel plated cast iron side and back panels with very stylized marsh cattail designs. It comes in its original canvas over wood case which is also in good condition. The "2-" is because of the sticking "I" key. We are estimating itsĬondition rating at 2,2. The only issue I could find is that the "I" key is sticking a bit. The carriage advances when the keys and space bar are struck. The machine is working very nicely and with good action. This machine has a very nice steel and glass keyboard. The graphics are very clear and easy to read. It is in very nice condition with no cracks, breaks or repairs to the frame and with all of its original paint. This machine was made by Clemens Muller A.G. Maybe because the Perkeo was made in Germany? To my eye, the Perkero is much more similar to the folding Corona 3 then the folding Fox portables were and Corona was successful in removing them from the market. Since it was contemporary to the early days of those machines, I wonder if there were infringement lawsuits. Just like those machines, this one folds the same way with the carriage folding over the top and onto the keyboard.
The Perkeo is very similar to the Standard and to the folding Corona 3. I cannot recall seeing another offered for sale in a long time. While I do not think of the Perkeo as rare, I can only recall having one other one in over 30 years of doing this.

The price seems a tad high for the condition but not unreasonable for a showcase piece.From This Olde Office comes this beautiful Perkeo (serial 25536), folding antique portable typewriter in its original case. The spool covers are present and the type slugs appear very clean. A good cleaning would most likely resolve that. However it’s not in perfect working condition as the keys were sticking a bit.

The condition is near excellent and what one should expect in a full professional cleaning and partial restore. The handle in this example would need to be replaced to carry but appears to be the original leather handle. The typewriter has a solid wood case with a leather handle that allowed it to be easily transported. This typewriter doesn’t required that the carriage and platen be folded to be portable like the more popular Smith Corona 3. This Underwood Portable has a four-bank QWERTY keyboard. The price tag indicates its a “1930s” typewriter - close enough.
