Tin toy typewriters

I used to illustrate for Bride's magazine back in the days when I lived in New York and when I had occasion to visit the office of the Editor-In-Chief, I was covetous of her collection of vintage tin litho typewriters. Here are a few cool ones, mostly from the 1950s.

Here's a nice collection from Collectors Weekly
