The BOSTON TYPE-OUT is Coming!


I've seen this machine in two different TV shows this year.


Someone just bought this Streamliner as a gift.

This pink Olympia SM-7 sold a few days ago. We nicknamed it Pepto.

    Excellent Idea! If i weren't on the other side of the country, I'd be there for sure just to check out the Legendary Tom Furrier and his Shop of Wonders :D

    Sounds good to me too. Now I want to arrange another one here, maybe finally get around to that Olympia shindig.

    I am mad! I am visiting Boston from San Francisco only one week later and I will miss this fabulous event! Have fun with it. We just had a Snail Mail Social here in SF on Saturday with loads of typewriters - I posted some photos on my blog (CappuccinoandArtJournal.blogspot.com). I want to stop by the shop when I"m in town -- my wondering Royal typewriter is from you. Keep typing -- and sending mail.

    Hi
    I think you need to check your "settings" for your account. There is a new setting there for replys to comments. I had the same problem when they updated their interface. I will try to call you tomorrow.

    Love that Royal! It's the Futura 800 isn't it? It has a unique typeface and I think your current tlog was typed with it.

    Martin- Yes that was a Futura 800. I love the typeface on it too. I did typecast with it.
