Acme typewriters have been the choice of discerning collectors and writers more than 1,000 times since we began selling online in 2016. We safely ship your typewriter from our store in the Netherlands and delivery time to the US averages only 3 days—this is a quicker delivery time even than most shipments from-and-to a US address! In the last 7 years, our typewriters arrived damage-free 99.4% of the time. So please don’t be concerned about buying from us just because we seem far away. Acme typewriters are guaranteed to arrive safely at your door, are covered by a 1-year warranty, and come with lifetime customer-care.

With an ACME Typewriter, you know you are getting a fully-working--as original--typewriter. The only thing that you have to do is sit down, put paper on the roller and start typing. 

 

​

Our renovations are undertaken with experience, dedication to detail and the highest professional standards. Whether you are looking for your first typewriter, or have a prestigious collection, we are always very happy to work with you.

If you are looking for a fancy website, cute gift-wrapping or other non-restoration-related services, I can refer you to other respected and qualified dealers. BUT, if you are looking for the finest, most reliable typewriters on the market, then you have come to the right place.

An Acme typewriter is an investment, not just a fully working typing machine. We attach the Acme Seal to every one of our restored typewriters, to identify them permanently as having been restored in our workshop. If you ever decide to sell your Acme Typewriter this lead seal will assure you of receiving the highest possible price. We sell only the highest quality typewriters and have the experience and expertise to fully restore them to their original glory. Be wary of buying a "bargain" typewriter because they usually are not bargains in the end. I know our typewriters are expensive but if you want a truly fully-working and restored typewriter, then you choose right by choosing Acme

 

Acme is dedicated to the conservation and restoration of fine European typewriters from the era of high-quality, modern typewriter design and manufacture: the late-1930s through the early 1970s. We have a carefully earned reputation for finest quality machines, excellent conservation and restoration, attentive customer service and unending after-sale care and advice.

​

Our typewriters are safely shipped anywhere in the world. They are carefully packed and protected, and fully insured during shipment. Our gallery of typewriters has clients in the United States and Canada, Australia and China, Morocco and Brunei, Finland and Japan and many places in-between.

 

Clients include important collectors of typewriters, screenwriters and novelists, European and American interior designers, film art and production design departments and the casual--but discriminating--individual.
