Q: Are these real, authentic typewriter
keys you use?
A: Absolutely 100% authentic.
Q: Where do you find all of your typewriters and how can
you take apart such gems?
A: We treasure hunt all over the world for worn-down, beaten-up, rusted and broken
typewriters that are on their way to the dumps. Due to computers, typewriter
repairs shops are almost non-existent.
If we find a typewriter in pristine, working condition .....
we donate them to a group that transports them to schools in Mexico that are
without computers and electricity. With these donations, the children are given
an opportunity to learn to type.
Q: What happens to the rest of the typewriter?
A: Good question! Not wanting to create more waste, we here at “what’s
your type?” feel great about not creating waste from our production process.
Once the keys are removed, the shell is used for our retail displays and the
remaining pieces are donated to a group of local artists for their sculpture
work. Nothing goes to waste.
Q: Do you make custom jewelry out of typewriter keys?
A: Absolutely. Email a description of your idea and we’ll let you
know what we can do for you.
Q: How long does it take for you to ship an order?
Once we receive payment, we ship
immediately. Orders are usually received within 3 business days.
Q: Can I get a “delete” key?
A: Yes. But only from your computer keypad.
