Hi, I'm Steven Budden.

I wasted hundreds of hours tinkering with broken machines before I found one that worked for me.

I spent the next few years figuring out how to use it...

Then I began to write...

(I want to spare you those wasted hours and years).

"When I took it out of the box I cried. It reminded me of my Grandfather's typewriter.

I love Classic Typewriter Company and the beautiful work they do!"

Emily Davis

1939 Corona Sterling in Rare Maroon

"I use this to write every night. It's so fulfilling.

And my daughter (she's 15) takes it during the day and writes notes to her friends.

It is so refershing in a digital world to hear her clacking away."

Know Your Typewriter Person...

I'm Steven Budden.

I was a painter and a writer by trade, until I broke my neck in the Pacific Ocean in 2008.

I spent the next decade or so in apprenticeship with healers and shamans, learning to heal my own wounds and the wounds of others.

Along the way, I started writing and I discovered the incomparable beauty of writing on a manual typewriter.

Well, life has never been the same.

I founded Classic Typewriter Company to rescue machines from landfills and put them into the hands of writers and dreamers.

Like you.

I'm so grateful you're here! I'll see you on the other side...
