ABOUT PRODUCTID 2561
The American Hammond No. 26 typewriter, produced around 1915 by the Hammond Typewriter Company in New York, features a solid black semi-matte body adorned with gold signature details and branding. It sits on its original oak base, showcasing a pronounced wood grain and a warm, medium-brown tone. The round keys have cream-colored faces, encircled by brass-toned rings, while levers and mechanisms are crafted from brass or brass-finished metal, displaying a natural antique patina. The construction is robust and architectural, with a symmetrical layout and visible mechanical joints. Condition is good for its age: minor scratches, light edge wear, and gentle patina are present, but all original elements, markings, and mechanical details remain intact and authentic. This typewriter evokes the atmosphere of an early twentieth-century office, where the cadence of work was measured by the rhythm of keystrokes and the movement of levers. The interplay of metallic sheen and the warmth of oak suggests a tangible sense of history, as if the device still carries the echoes of forgotten correspondence and bygone stories. The precision of its mechanism and the rawness of its finish highlight a character shaped by both technological innovation and cultural change. The piece may be displayed on a desk or sideboard in a study, home library, or living room, where it pairs well with dark veneers, steel accents, leather, or raw linen. It can be combined with an industrial swing-arm lamp, a black metal frame, or a bookshelf with pronounced wood texture to create a quiet vintage-inspired corner. Subtle accent lighting will highlight the gold details and the patina of the metal, while surroundings in shades of grey, deep green, or navy will reinforce its collectible nature. Consider pairing it with period-appropriate accessories—
