Its been awhile since I got out my Hammond… had to go to the internet to remind me on how it functions.  Its so great to look at… and fun to use!
Hammond Fun (c.1927 Multiplex)

Thinking about typewriters…
The longer I collect typewriters… I find that the quality of the typewriter is not always what I like. After all I do not make a living using a typewriter. I type because its fun; not because it is a tool of my craft.
1911 Remington 10
Sometimes people will bid on an item and not pay… then someone else gets the prize!
Moments with a Demountable No. 2
My Demountable No. 2 came to me… slow and difficult to operate. Then one day I managed to fit its frame on the correct way. It became quick and fun…
$7.99 for a 1959 Smith-Corona Secretarial
There are still great wonderful values out there. Full size, working; even a useable ribbon and only $7.99… At a higher price I would have skipped this model; but now I  say it’s a quality machine.
1924 Remington Noiseless 5 Standard (The curved one with metal platen)
I could not resist this beauty. It was so nice looking I had fears… which turned out to be true… the frame had broken in the interior that prevented proper placement of the platen but after some effort I got some impressions… not to mention great joy and internal smiles!
Smith Premier 30 at 89…
Sometimes… what you buy for parts becomes something you can not part with.
This 1927 Smith Premier 30 fools you into thinking it is scrap… then it starts to play…
1912 Monarch Visible… shows its way!
I like the look… I love its feel… at 104 it makes my day great!!
For good type… type good!
When I think positive thoughts my typewriters respond by working well… when I am negative they skip and stick and refuse to create good type!
1932 Rheinmetall makes my day…
Sometimes you come across a wonder… all the seller knew was it came over from Germany in the 1930’s… then when I saw the serial number (41993) I just smiled at my treasure!
