Today I found a Underwood Touchmaster Five for $5.00… when I started the day I was looking at an Olivetti M40 for $198.00.
If the Olivetti was going for $40.00 I might have gone a different way. Things change… and I like to keep my change.
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.
Fun to look at. Fun to use. Just great.
Wow… 8 months I’ve had this 3-Bank. At first I loved the action but it keep skipping and the space bar did not always advance. I bought a “donor” and now it works great. So good infact I got distracted and performed poorly as a typist… I kept expecting it to mess up and stop working… but it did not. Happy… Happy… Joy… Joy!!!
Comes to me from Texas of all places.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder… when it counts she’s a real performer….
Some times when you open the box of Cracker Jack… you loved what you got. It was more than you expected and well worth the box you paid for. That’s the feeling I have for my Corona 3.
Found some more images I took in the 80’s of some Jazz Giants.
It looked nice. I did not need another reason.
