Some things just age with grace and beauty… time brings out what was and is. Its value and purpose are without time or place. Like a loved one… forever.
1908 LC Smith… forever new and beautiful to me…

Built to type… 1908 L.C. Smith Bros No. 2
This typewriter does the job. Not fancy to look at. Just built to get it done… and it does… 105 years later (even though I kept typing 108). Serial #51,142
A 1921 LC Smith Standard #3… with memories & meanings!
received yesterday a LC Smith No. 3 that’s its owner (Joe) wanted to arrived safely to me… even if it cost more to ship than I paid (at his expense). The typewriter passed on to me… carried with it memories of people… kindness given and received. More than a machine… bought… a gift to treasure.
The embers still glow… thoughts from 40 years ago.
I have read things I wrote over 40 years ago… the thoughts are not very mature or insightfull. Sill there was a fire in my soul then. And the embers still glow…
Just pressing keys… it makes my day!
300th Post
My first post felt special. My 50th made me giddy. I sought out a 100 year old typewriter to mark my 100th post but was sent a 85 year old one by mistake. The 200th was full of images. Now I reach 300 and this blog is both more than I ever expected and less than I had hoped. The reality is wonderful… the dream just fades like a pleasant memory. No regrets for what is… more words are waiting to reach paper… Thank you everyone for your time. You have filled my time and life with insight…. support and kindness. 66 more to go then who knows.
Gee!
Eagles & Chickens… how I divide my typewriters
Three Centuries of type…
This time of year.
For the fun of the type…
