The shelf
Six machines, refurbished on the bench, each sold with a service record and a year of free ribbons. Prices include the story.
1962
The Vask Standard
Oren's own design, first year of production. Ebony crinkle paint, tab key intact, bell loud enough to be heard across the mill.
1955Everhart Portable No. 4
The typing-class workhorse. Portable in the sense that a determined child could carry it.
1958Corvair De Luxe
Two-tone green and cream, the definitive letter-writer. Fresh ribbon, new feet, glides like gossip.
1966Millvale Office No. 9
The tank. Built for the county clerk's office and outlived the county.
1949Stencil-Cut Special
Stencils posters and can be heard in the parking lot. One of nine known.
1978Vask Signature Reissue
The final standard Oren signed personally. Serial 001 of the reissue run of 500.
Nothing new is made here. Everything on the shelf existed before 1980 and has been to the bath since. If a machine is not on the shelf, it is either being repaired or waiting to be born again on someone's desk.
