How else would one reach 750 posts without calling on Western Union… really love this typewriter… just got to get out of the habit of using the shift keys!

I have a Friden Flexowriter with all caps San Serif type, just like yours. I put on a purple ribbon, and printed up some Western Union blank forms on ivory paper (actually had them printed, it was before the days of laser copiers). Fooled a lot of friends.
Sure is a beautiful typewriter. Great typeface too.
Congratulations on 750!
Amazing! 750 already, and I’ve only made it to 667 so far. 😀
That WU Underwood is in amazing shape & I know what you mean by the habit of shifting – that always jinxes me on an Olivetti Linea I have with some kind of labelling typeface on it. The shifted letter positions are all a null “double-dot” character. Never understood why they just didn’t repeat the same letter in the shifted position on that machine. 😛

667 is amazing… not to mention the DATABASE you established as well…
