mid-century potions tool
As I await the 1946 edition of the Mr. Boston Baratender's Guide, today the mail brought this jigger measure. I have no clear idea of how old this is. Some etsy seller claimed 1940's, but from the documentation it could go two decades either way.

"I feel like I need to get a typewriter right now."
That's what the girl said as she walked away with her group. She was the one who typed about going to a baptism.
We were supposed to work registration, but the lead or whatever had us go to the driveway of a hotel nearby and keep the participants from getting creamed. I had brought the underwood 319 to load up with a registration paper. With the change in assignment I just put it out on a sturdy post for people to type whatever they felt like. It was mildly popular. Some pics may turn up, which I'll post if I can. My phone was acting up so I didn't get any myself until we got home.

left behind, but still cool.
I still don't' buy every typewriter that shows up in the bins, but if I can, I get a photo for you. It's been a while, (I think I bought the last one, a brother) but today I saw a familiar case and guessed correctly what it would look like, but not the model name. I'd never seen a "Super 12" before.
It looks just like the Silent-Super that was my very first bin find. It also had a very musty smell, and I've dealt with that too often to do it again.
