Happy Star Wars Day! To celebrate this special day, we present "Anakin" and his grown-up version "Darth Typer"! Dressed in black and red, these two modern machines are on SALE for only $54 each. While they may not have the durability or styling of the mid-century typewriters we normally sell, these certainly look like they belong in your Star Wars collection. (Sale ends 5/14 so contact us today! No shipping.)
