Child's Play

This late 1930's Bantam is in wonderful condition.

The colored glass keys are beautiful.

You can see that many keys are missing. This machine is very stripped down.

Perfect Day for a Type-Out

The early crowd gets a head start on typing.

My daughter Emma, is quite the typist.

Someone checking out a Royal P Model.

Three tables outside were all filled up.

Maybe bowties will make a comeback with the typewriter. Yeah!

A Super Fine Underwood Champion

This is one of the nicest Underwoods I have ever seen.

This was a very nice Ebay find for someone.

I have never noticed a dealer sticker there before.



Ribbon tins are very collectable and look cool.

Ribbon tins can be very decorative and stylish.

Mystery Machine Revealed

Ta daaa. It's a very dirty American Model No. 8.

The picture does not do this dirty machine justice.



What a dramatic difference. It looks brand new (almost).

The finish on this machine was well preserved.

Here's the carriage lifted up so you could check your spelling.



This customer repair is one of the nicest Corona No.3 I've seen.

This Royal P model has some wear but still looks great.

I get a lot of these type of Royal machines for repair.
