The
Crandall was the first typewriter to print from a single element or
"type sleeve", well before IBM's "Golf ball". This type
sleeve is a cylinder, about the size of your finger, which rotates and rises
up one or two positions before striking the roller, achieving 84 characters
with only 28 keys.
The machine has a wonderful Victorian design and is decorated with hand
painted roses, accented with inlaid mother-of-pearl.
This typewriter sold for $50.00 to $75.00.
