Angelina Jolie considered giving Brad Pitt as a wedding present a 1926 Underwood typewriter that once belonged to the late literary lion Ernest Hemingway.
The longtime couple -- and parents of six children -- were married last August.
Jolie offered to pay typewriter collector and Los Angeles Police Commission President Steve Soboroff $250,000 for the artifact and even gave him an $11,000 deposit, but ultimately changed her mind and said she didn't want it, TMZ reported.
There was no word on what prompted the decision or what Jolie gave Pitt as a wedding present instead.
Soboroff returned the check for the typewriter.
Hemingway penned the American classics The Old Man and the Sea, A Farewell to Arms, The Sun Also Rises and For Whom the Bell Tolls before committing suicide in 1961. He was 61.
