The "typewriter bone" (love that phrase btw, wish I'd thought of it) has been busy recently. My shopgoodwill disappointments I now suspect were to get me to really decide what I'm willing to spend, and get my head around higher bids on something truly special. One such has come up but I'll leave it to the readers to guess at it and hope I don't end up in the bidding war I anticipate. My meager savings can go somewhat higher than my past efforts but not to the levels of, say, pink Royals.
Wish me luck!
Oh and there's an Underwood 315 on CL for $25. It looks a lot like (pedestrianism) Ryan's Lettera (googling indicates it is much the same, not like the 319 at all) and his is a sweet typer. But I can't let that divert resources from the prize above. I mention it for the other locals.

Good luck! :D
ReplyDeleteI keep looking at that Underwood 315! I wants it...but I keep stalling on sending an e-mail due to the long drive into city territory. Isn't it a lovely color?
ReplyDeleteAck...you may push me over the edge.
I tried emailing last night before the new prize was posted. If I get a reply I'll let you know and also sound them out about meeting up at my type-in on the 1st.
ReplyDeleteI ended up being tied up in meetings and training all day and didn't get around to sending a message. Let me know what you find out!
