Mettoy Supertype

The Mettype children's typewriter was a popular and distinctive part of the Mettoy range for some years.

Off-display

The typewriter used to be on display in Area 17. However, we didn't have room to properly show the box, so we ended up replacing it with a more cheerful red unboxed Supertype Junior model.
