A Report From The Type Bar Type-In From Boston

Richard giving a reading from his book.







Some of the vintage paper I brought along.



On left- Arthur, Richard, me and Abraham. I like this picture.


There are some cool machines at this table.


They put us up by the front door and window.


Even Super Boy came to try out some machines.

Busiest Christmas Season Ever!

A young teen writer found this under her tree.


I sold a bunch of this 1950's Smith Coronas

Also sold many of these 50's Quiet de Luxe models.

A handful of these Super Sterlings under the tree too.

For the American Girl Doll "Kit" fans.

A couple of these Underwood 319's are in new hands.


A Silent-Super on Sylvia Plath's writing desk.

These Underwoods got trashed at Burning Man Festival.

After 75 Years - It's Time For A New Owner.



Ed Clark at his writing spot.




Every best selling book was typed on this machine.


The Typewriter Revolution is selling well at the shop.


It's so nice to get a machine in with a great story to it!

Mr. Mowrer's name is still on the shipping label.

This store window on Newbury Street is filled with antique sewing machines.

What a great old dealer sticker.

Just found this inside a SM-9 case.

The Typewriter Rodeo Comes To Town

The Typewriter Rodeo at work.



This 1922 Corona 3 will look great on film.


This picture doesn't do this ingenious  innovation justice.

A wonderful little book store in a small town near me.



This is an art exhibit at The Hess Collection in Napa, California

This 1953 Oliver Portable is a beautiful machine.
