We had a handful of first timers at the Type-Out.



Kizzie had a blast trying all the typewriters.

This is the look of concentration.

Jack's giving advise about typing.

Janet's typing on a Sky-riter she had repaired.

Abraham is looking splendid typing on the Sky-riter.





This 3000 looked so bad when it came in.

This Underwood No. 3 is simply beautiful.

This is the first chrome machine in the shop for repair.





Newest edition to our book collection.


Love the Texas Pride tin.
