Not much you can do with a bland name like "Williams" I suppose, and "Miss Williams" certainly doesn't help sell the brand! A far cry from the sexy German ads by Olympia, Adler and Continental etc. :)
I just googled for Williams Typewriter, adding a plethora of other sub-words that helps google find what I want, while searching under "Books" so that it pulls up the old stuff rather than new sites and blogs and what not. I've found that one of the most helpful sub-words is "audit", as it pulls up government auditing records that often include dates of acquisition and serial numbers, alongside costs.

ReplyDeleteThe European brands certainly were a bit more flamboyant with it all, that's for sure. Save for British machines, they were just as bland as ever.
DeleteExcellent work, thank you!
ReplyDeleteNow: how and where did you dig?
