Happy Accident


I just realized I took these with the paper table down :(


P.S. Junior sleuths - how do we know Erik re-typed this typecast (and STILL made a ton of mistakes)?

  1. because you mention turtle-waxing, and yet your pics are nice and shiny gloss black?

    Very nice yard sale find there! Shall we declare this the start of Fall Yard Sailing Season? :D

    1. I think it's safe to call the season open.

      And the waxing would have taken place post-type. So that's not it :)

    1. Me too! Here's what the address looks like now:

      I get the feeling it had more character when there was a typewriter retailer there.

  3. What a great find! Your typewriter looks new. I have used grommets, bumpers and feed for speaker enclosures for my typewriters.

  4. You waxed, took pictures, changed to bicolor ribbon, then retyped.

    1. Yes, it's quickly become my favorite machine. The best descriptor I can come up with is "elegant."
