More Interesting Stuff (for lack of a better title).

This 1943 Hermes Baby has a cool looking marbled paint job.

This 1932 Remington Sixteen is the first one I've worked on.


We've been getting a lot of Woodstock's in lately.

A Royal KMM With Some History!

Two Pulitzer Prize winning books were typed on this 1946 KMM.

This Remington 12 made in Toronto is in stunning condition.


The modified  return/index mechanism is interesting here.

I see many of these factory rebuilt Underwood No. 5's.




This Russian keyboard 1969 Underwood 21 just sold to a college in Alabama.


The first two pages were typed on Mr. McCullough's 1946 Royal KMM (yahooooo!). The third and fourth pages were typed on my favorite 1940 Remington Five (streamliner).
     Well, that's it for this week. Thanks for checking it out. Everyone have a great week.
