So I found these two typewriters the other day at a yard sale. I probably over paid since they are in rough condition, but you don't see these everyday around here. Both cases are in terrible shape and both typewriters seem to have lots of different problems. So my question is, would it be more worth it to sell the glass keys only instead of having to charge a whole lot for shipping? Here are some typewriter keys that sold on EBAYAlso anyone know how to take them off without damaging them?

Look for the ones w/ glass keys.

I'd be surprised if either did. It's like "tickling the ivory's" on a piano, everyone still says that but only the top end older stuff were ivory. I also think that ebay thing was a fluke. I'll bet they are just plastic "tiddly winks" with a clear disk on top. They are better than the molded composite and plastic with the letters painted on though. That's just an opinion.It should be a fun project anyway.
That may be the case on most typewriters, but I know the older one has glass keys because one splintered into a billion sharp glass pieces when I tried to cut it, Lol! This project is turning out to be quite difficult...
