another score

Score another for the south end.  Guess what's in here (for $7.99) and I'll post the typecast tomorrow.

not so many stickers

I only found a couple of stickers to display still in the collection.  I know that LFP has one from Ohio on her SM9, and I suspect I've sent my Tacoma one out of town :-[ but I will keep looking.
But here are the few I did find only one typewriter company, one seller, and one protection racket.

On my Aristocrat - I wonder if they could still trace it?

you've seen this recently, probably in better focus. J2

Theme of the week - typewriter service firms

I will go take a look at my collection this week for these tags left by bygone firms - I recall several including late lamented Tacoma Typewriter - but my favorite has been shown before so I will post the image here to get off to a good start.  This is off the late-1920's-ish Royal Portable:

another busy weekend

We went on a long bike ride Saturday. I went Hyak to Olallie while my wife came up from Olallie and met me (and slow friends) more than halfway.

Completely unrelated, has anyone else tried the new Sharpie liquid pencil?  Maybe it's the paper I used or something.  One thing I like about pencils is that I can leave a mark with almost no pressure.  I tend to go for as soft a pencil as I can get for that reason.  this thing forced me to write larger and with more pressure than I wanted.  I did like being able to erase.

too good not to share

College Newspaper goes old-school:
Highly amusing article.  the G+ typosphere has been commenting.  I wanted to make sure this made its way to Richard and Robert.
except..am I turning into a "creepy old craigslist guy?"

I think I'm offended now!

ROBOT WEEK!

Can't win 'em all

Here we have the thrill of victory...

and the agony of defeat.

 I never did find the former contents.

If anyone knows any sewing machine collectors those are all over the place!
