This green little machine was invented by John H. Cooper of Philadelphia, PA. It was patented on May 20, 1856. Officially, according to the patent paperwork, it was called a "hand printing machine" (the term "typewriter" wasn't yet developed). You have to admit it, that green finish is stunning, even if the typewriter looks like a butter churn.
