interesting typefaces 2 Remington Noiseless

Above is a sample of the type with a glaring typo.  It is really hard to see the output.  The window is tiny and sometimes the ribbon doesn't drop out of the way.  I still like it.

 Here is a post with pics of this machine.

Here's a bit of text from it laid across the FP's sample.

Another rescue

I want to  boast that I was able to exercise some impulse control tonight.  The weird thrift store in South Tacoma has a lovely mid-60's Super Sterling for which they were asking 29.99 but there was a 30% off sale currently and I do not know how firm those prices are anyway.  If a certain Olympia collector wants me to pick it up for her...

lineup one - heavy iron

So since I may only work the flimsy keys of my netbook, I'll post pics of my typewriters along with the rest of you.

I had meant to add text but we were leaving when I was uploading.  I'll remedy that now - from the top:  SCM 88 from the shop down the hill and "Sarge," the Police FP from the Strikethru Petaluma haul.
Then we have my first ever purchase (1980) an Underwood S?- someone help me out here I've only seen two just like it.  Richard just got one a few weeks ago.  The other was Kennedy's typewriter on the museum site.  This one came to me with green plastic key covers, Royal brand, which I still have.
Below that is the Remingtom-Rand KMC from the Petaluma group.  It has an elite typeface and had worked in a bank.  I was tickled to get it because the radio club has a Model 17 that I had enjoyed typing on.  So thanks again Strikethru!
