“Somebody used this, somebody loved it,” she says. “It was a tool for them and respecting that is also really important.”

"I'll be like, 'Come on, try it out! Get your fingers on it and tell me what you think,'” she says gleefully. "I love it no matter what, but there might be somebody out there — this is their typewriter-soulmate."
