Alabama Typewriter Company

Alabama Typewriter Company is a typewriter sales and repair shop located at 2203 6th Avenue South in Downtown Birmingham.

It was founded as a local office of the Victor Adding Machine Company in 1922 and became independent in the 1930s or 40s. It has been owned since 1986 by Billy Hagood, who has transformed the core business into restoration of antique typewriters along with servicing of computers, printers and fax machines.

Hagood had planned to retire in January 2007, hoping to sell the business. As of April 2011, Hagood was still running the business.
