Period Inventory

Machines stay period-correct forward. A 1932 Remington works for a 1935 newsroom and a 1968 office alike, so availability compounds by era.

Every machine is a working typewriter, not a dressed prop. All are cleaned, tested, and typed before release and arrive with a fresh ribbon. Multiple machines are available for typing pools, newsrooms, and office sets.

Same-week fulfillment available for most requests.

Period Day Week Add'l week
1930s–1940s $200 $600 $500
1950s $165 $495 $400
1960s $150 $450 $365

Rates by period

Theater and student productions: get in touch, we work with local companies on rates that fit their budgets.

Multi-machine packages, period sets, and long-run continuity holds are quoted individually. Rush fulfillment, on-set standby, and delivery beyond 20 miles of Eureka are available at additional cost.

How we work with productions

We invoice on net-30 terms and provide a W-9 on request.

We require a certificate of insurance at least 48 hours before release, naming Analog Pursuit LLC as additional insured on general liability and loss payee on equipment coverage. With a compliant certificate, no security deposit is required.

Machines cannot be aged, distressed, dressed, or modified without prior written approval. Where approved, a restoration fee applies, quoted in advance. We don't rent for destruction. See Event & Production Booking Policies for more details.
