RARE Keaton Music Typewriter - Sold @ Etsy
A typewriter to write musical musical notation - less than 12 are known to exist:

The Keaton Music Typewriter was first patented in 1936 (14 keys) by  Robert H. Keaton from San Francisco, California. Another patent was  taken out in 1953 (33 keys) which included improvements to the machine.  The machine types on a sheet of paper lying flat under the typing  mechanism. There are several Keaton music typewriters thought to be in  existence in museums and private collections. It was marketed in the  1950s and sold for around $225. The typewriter made it easier for  publishers, educators, and other musicians to produce music copies in  quantity. Composers, however, preferred to write the music out by hand.
