How much do you think this typewriter is worth?

$11? $50? Or $20,000? If you guessed the last answer, you’d be correct. For this Olivetti typewriter, a well designed machine in its own right, is worth so much more because it used to belong to Cormac McCarthy. A good story about McCarthy and his Olivetti typewriter can be found (at this somewhat punnily titled article) here: No Country for Old Typewriters – A Well-Used One Heads to Auction – NYTimes.com
