1962 Olympia SG-1… $14.95

Although the manual is for a SG-1N… with expedient touch marks for the blind… .  I had to close my eyes to notice that the Q, Z  and opposite end keys have a rough surface… (I guess for correct starting position)… and slight bumps next to the ribbon control and touch adjuster.

Reliance Premier (1916) can be relied on…

It works… it types… after 97 years one must accept the fact it was well made.

Finding my groove on a 1929 Royal…

Each typewriter I use brings with it a different sense of being when I touch the keys.  What I write shifts as the interactions of my fingers to the keys to my thoughts to the page converge and the act of creation begins.

After the 4th…

Just because the 4th of July is over… I do not stop celebrating the country I love.  Pride of country stays in my heart 365 days a year.  Love of our land still glows in my heart long after fireworks end.
