Celebrity Typewriter Exhibit In Boston

It felt really cool to hold this machine.

I got goosebumps touching this Corona.

For some strange reason the Unibomber's machine fascinated me.

Orson Welles' autograph is on his machine

Sorry, the video won't load, darn my lack of computer skills.

Fall Type-Out - Saturday, October 5th

 

A 1926 Underwood No.3 Telegraph Machine

This No. 3 was extremely dirty and splattered with white paint.

Caps only type with numbers and very few punctuation marks.

The platen assembly tips forward to install forms.

You wouldn't believe I cleaned this place out three months ago.

I can't fit more than three or four customers in the shop at a time.

 

This beautiful machine is mint.

The owner of this machine thinks it will help his writing.

This keyboard looks brand new.

You think a Smith Corona is in the case, then you open it up.

This was probably stored in a basement for 40 years.

Even the carrying case had rotted to pieces.

A Royal Rainbow

It"s the first time I've had this many colors together at once.

1957 Voss Deluxe Serial #139742

A typical machine in need of cleaning and repairs.

And a typical after- all cleaned up and ready to use.
