Ask my 30 YO daughter. She has at least a half dozen typewriters displayed around her house, including on a desk in her bedroom and on old telephone desk in the dining room.
Similar to this, but her table is maple and the chair is hinged so that it swings under
the table when not in use.

SWMBO's 2011 CR-V EX with 112K mile recently sustained $6500 worth
of damage from a tree limb that fell on it during a windstorm. The Ins Co paid to repair it because they valued the car at $13.8K. She paid $13K for
it 6 years ago.

Nice car but seems too big for 4 cyl.- but the other manufacturers
seem to be doing the same thing - dropping the 6 cyl option.
... often in these utes the 6 cyl gets similar fuel economy.

https://i.imgur.com/y0tVtWM.jpgAre any of hers in working shape, or just for display? I still sell type-writers at the local antique mall. Even the newer ones and
electrics can go for $35-50. Some people collect the big heavy 100+
year old manual "clackity" ones. Those go for a lot these days.
Some of those old phone desks are quite popular as well, and the WE
phones can bring a high price on eBay. I own several of the old style princess phones with lit dials that I'm slowing restoring. I'm amazed
at what people are selling these for on eBay (I two of mine hooked up
and working on my land line).

What are these 2 worth? ;-) They both work. Need tune ups, but they work.

Smith Corona:I assume that these are from her house? The SC typewriter, not worth a

lot. Looks to be in nice condition; I'd sell it for $45 in my area.

That's old manual Royal is a really nice one. I wouldn't sell it for a
dime less than $100 as-is. Of course, regional prices vary. Many areas
are more expensive than where I live.
I'm more interested in the old teapot with matching sugar and creamer
next to the Royal typewriter, personally. I could be wrong, but I'm
almost certain they are from Hall China. I live minutes from the
factory, which is sadly now closed.

I didn't see your post until I got home from her house (~3 hours away) otherwise I would have looked at the tea set a little closer. Typewriters
and tea sets; those are what she likes. I'll asked her to take a look at
the set and see if she can find a manufacturer's name on it someplace.
Believe it or not, this limb did not damage the house or the neighbor's cars. It was a perfect landing. However, it did take out 2 sections of the fence.

The limbs on the back of the tree dropped right into the center of the yard and
didn't do any damage. That's a glass table at front the patio and you can just
make out her brand new snow covered grill at the far end. The limbs landed between those two items and straddled the wicker furniture, not breaking a single piece.

All in all, she was quite lucky.
