THE END
So interesting and encouraging! I'm very glad to hear you have an apprentice these days.
ReplyDeleteI experienced a shadow of what you did in my capacity as volunteer amateur typewriter repairman for WordPlay Cincy. Unfortunately, the shop closes several days before Christmas (it follows the schedule of the Cincinnati Public Schools), which caused some frustration among would-be buyers. Those who did get in bought up all the small stock of machines I'd prepared for sale. This year I'll have to stockpile more in advance, if I can.
Tom, I always enjoy reading your blog. It was fun reading about all the new young typewriter owners. I hope they treasure them.
ReplyDeleteSeeing those two machines trashed at Burning Man, and your thoughts about there being only a limited number of machines left, is a sobering thought, but also gives added personal satisfaction at having a small collection of functional machines myself.
Enjoy the rest, and I hope you have a stellar 2016.
Nice article! Glad to see you survived the Christmas season.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the provenance of the Burning Man machines would make them something you could sell...
