Introduced in the 1880s by James Bartlett Hammond, these distinctive machines used a curved, interchangeable type shuttle and a rear-striking hammer instead of conventional typebars. Early models featured an unusual two-column keyboard, while later designs such as the Hammond Multiplex adopted a more conventional straight keyboard but retained the hallmark interchangeable type system – allowing quick changes of font, size, or even language. Their blend of ingenuity and elegance makes Hammonds prized by collectors and design enthusiasts alike.

HAMMOND MULTIPLEX old antique american TYPEWRITER decorators piece ?Seller's notes: "Hammond multiplex antique typewriter. Everything looks to be there and all moving, but not entirely sure if it is all working as it should as it is very dusty, and I don't want to damage it by playing about with it too much, when I don't know what I'm doing! But it looks alright to mean, once cleaned! After a good clean up, there is some rust and tarnishing to tackle, but nothing major by the looks of it - nothing that has eating through to the working of the machine! Comes with the bottom half of the original box, but unfortunately not the top of it!"
