Six Typewriters, One Post

January and February have been very generous to my collection! In just two short months I have acquired six new machines, and sold two. I decided that instead of making a multitude of posts, I'll just make one big one. Here they are, listed in no particular order. Enjoy!

#1. Generation 3000

#2. Royal Futura 800

#3. Tower Chieftain (Olivetti Lettera 22)

#4. Royal KHM

#5. Triumph Perfekt

(see my last post)

#6. Royal Apollo GT-12

Thanks for reading!

A Triumphant Perfektion

PS: If you haven't noticed, the spam bots are back. I deleted all the comments I could except for one that you can see in the comment section here.

A New Desk!

My old desk.

Looks pretty sturdy, no?

Top comes off, only to show this mess

(Unfortunately I forgot to get a picture of the second half of the typecast- this paragraph is transcribed from the original typewritten copy)

With all this and more, it is

very reasonable for me to

have wanted a better desk for some

time now. Looks like I got what I

wished for!

-Sent from my Remington Monarch

Behold!

It harbors a secret inside...

Voila!

Note wear on the surface.

I got this sturdy desk via craigslist for $20 . As you can see, it is purposely built for typewriters. Although it is surprisingly small, it is rock solid and never wobbles in the least- even with a full sized office machine on top! It's got just the right amount of wear and tear to look right at home with my 1914 Remington Monarch that I recently managed to get working.

This desk will serve me well for years to come.

Master of the View- Viewmaster Model C

"Entrance to The Way of The Cross"

"Stations of The Cross"

Here's a great link for anyone interested in Viewmaster history and model designations.

Surprises....!

*tab stop (instead of margin stop)

Once you get used to it, the outlandish angles and colors start to grow on you (especially when they aren't discolored!)

The trademark "salute" of the 3K's return lever

Ack. So it seems I am an excessive user of commas. Sorry for making you read through that, hopefully I'll get better at monitoring that.

No hint today, but is anyone able to identify this obscure Remington portable I saw in an antique mall this summer? No model markings to be found (but I do believe it says "Remington" on the paper table, though I do not remember).
