Sexy Swede?
It might not exactly be an example of typewriter porn (yes, collectors actually use the phrase), but this postcard that features a model seductively draping her arm around a Swedish-made FACIT T1 is a curiosity.
The T1 is not exactly an attractive machine, and it makes one to wonder if the postcard shouldn’t have been titled Beauty and the Beast.
You would think that the card, which is postmarked July 1962, was a promotional item from Facit, but it doesn’t have the company name anywhere on it. If this was supposed to be a form of advertising, it wasn’t a very effective one. And if not advertising, does it suggest that there was actually a demand during the ’60s for postcards that featured women posing with typewriters?
