   I'd guess circa 1910-1920 AD.

   Ooh, that would be cool! But no, this is even more obscure than the Sphinx. No collector I've spoken to has ever seen one before.

   .., As for the mystery machine, I suppose it is not the (famously fictitious) Chavez Writing Iron… (I *know* I left that darned prototype somewhere…)

    Ton beat me to a guess of a Sphnix knowing that it is one you want.

    Do you have a link to the artilcle? A search did not return anything newer than the announcement of Tom Hanks' book.

    Charlie the Typewriter Guard Cat voted on Facebook but it wouldn't let me vote again as me! Sorry … I'll try again later.
