    That's too many keys for a typewriter. Could these be early accounting machines?
  • The Real Estreya said:
    I agree with vistavision. The color pattern of the keys especially makes it look like an early accounting typewriter. Here's the link to a drawing of one from 1911

    Here's a link to a different exposure of this image. I agree it's not a typewriter, albeit Hine took many photographs of typists and office workers.
  • the third little bird said:
    Definitely a comptometer. There's an image of something similar here. Also see here. Typists and comptometrists might be a better caption.

    there's no way that the date on this is correct. that was taken in the twenties.
