My memory is clear on what movies I went to see and where. The internet told me what year. Then simple math told me how old I was. Now I have to put my life in the right order.
Fact checking my life…

When I recall 1960… “The Flintstones” is all I remember
I tried to recall what I recall from 1960… the year this typewriter was made. Nothing much jumped out.
Outside it rains… inside I type.
I cook some food… I type… it rains… but the day is nice.
Sweet comeback… or just sweet tooth?
Hostess is back on the shelf… and I had to eat some to see if they are as “sweet” as I remember?
A 1921 LC Smith Standard #3… with memories & meanings!
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.
1933 Remie Scout… types clear and sweet!
Fun to look at. Fun to use. Just great.
The replacment post… ode to #417
Some times… I read what I type and wonder how the words got on the page. Then I re-type and wonder what was I thinking. Then I type-over and like it enough to tear it into pieces. So I do what I should have done the first time… switch typewriters.
1965 Royal Aristrocrat (Italic Font)
Sometimes the seller discribes the item correctly. The price seems low for what is shown. Then you get what you pay for. All the issues are non-issues and perhaps self-invented to explain away the “great deal”. Sometimes… a typewriter in great condition at a superlow price is just that. A typewriter in great condition at a super low price. And once adjusted the ribbon turned out to be in great shape (the only thing about the typewriter that turned out to be not as described).
Dinosaur in the morning (1972 Remington 24) review
New day, fresh look. I like.
$2.25 Remington 24 (1972) Packed with 4 paper napkins.
Sometimes you get what you paid for and you get more than you expected. Perhaps the $2.25 dollar price was less than the seller was expecting… so they packed it based on worth. 4 paper napkins. I feel great gratitude to the USPS for the delivery of this machine in a manner that allowed it to arrive in a still working condition. Any poor handling at all and this machine would have been in pieces… and not functional in any way. Great JOB U.S. Post Office. Thank you!! to all those who took care with this package that was not even marked fragile… it arrived working (what more could anyone ask).
