Today’s generation might not understand what this contraption is, but they’ll probably recognize that this is where modern day keyboards came from. This Lettera 32 Olivetti typewriter in light blue was bought at a more affordable $50 back in 1963 by author Cormac McCarthy, who penned the novel No Country for Old Men.
