Turkey on a car…

You don’t often see wild turkey’s in a parking lot… let alone sitting on the hood of a car; life is full of unexpected wonder!

Unsigned 1959 Hermes 8 Standard…

I signed my Hermes 8 typewriter.  Took its picture… then decided it had more value without the signature. So I removed it….
