La revista ETCetera, en el nº 14 de Febrero de 1991, publicó el resultado de una encuesta realizada a los mejores y expertos coleccionistas de máquinas de escribir. Se preguntaba acerca de la rareza y deseabilidad de las máquinas.
Estos son los dos componentes que se asocian al valor de la máquina. La rareza puede ser cuantificada, considerando un hecho, y la deseabilidad es la parte subjetiva, es sólo una opinión.
La lista está ordenada en orden alfabético , con su numeración de rareza y deseabilidad, la escala es del 1 al 10, siendo 10 lo mejor.
