The difference of course is, this Olivetti manual machine was owned by Pulitzer Prize author, Cormac McCarthy.
Mr. McCarthy said he bought it in 1963 for $50 and used it to type all his novels, including a couple that won a Pulitzer Prize and a National Book Award, sold Friday at Christie’s to an unidentified American collector for $254,500, more than 10 times its high estimate of $20,000. Proceeds of the auction will be donated to the Santa Fe Institute, a nonprofit interdisciplinary scientific research organization.
