Post-Script: The problem with collections is that you get fond of each member, even if they are just pedestrian, middle-of-the-road examples. On the other hand, once the zombies start through the hedgerow, one's feelings might change.

Regarding the display shelves, I'm thinking instead of a cabinet that each shelf will be floating, supported from underneath by brackets extending out from the wall, tied into the studs for security, and deep enough for the feet of the typewriters, but the front keyboards might overhang a bit. A bit of trim along the front edge of each shelf would secure the feet from sliding off the shelf. Four shelves, two machines per shelf, means I could display eight machines in a space of only three feet or so of wall space, with the ninth machine on the desk in use. Don't ask me what I'm going to do if a tenth machine joins the others.
