- Description
- Blickensderfer No. 7 portable typewriter in a wooden case, 1897.
- Object History
- The Model 7, offered in 1897, became the deluxe version of the basic design. Blickensderfer typewriters feature a keyboard with a "DHIATENSOR" layout (the sequence of letters on the bottomr row), even though the QWERTY keyboard was becoming the standard keyboard layout. Instead of typebars, they had a type cylinder which allowed an operator to change the typeface by replacing the cylinder.
