I highly recommend the 1891 Brooks Backstrike typewriter.

the only downside is you can't see what you're actually typing because it types on the reverse side of the page.

I dunno I feel like it would be fun to type on such a machine.

if you can find a good automatic smith-corona that actually uses power.then that would be a good starter typewriter.
