The Royal #1 from 1911 is a great machine to sit down in front of its keyboard and admire its view. Then you get to type on it.
Just a sitten and a typing… its a Royal day!

I discover ETCetera is fun, funny and a great read…
Three years ago I went to the Etcetera (Newsletter for the Early Typewriter Collectors Association) and found it full of information. Now I find it a to be a great read; full of humor and interesting things to do.
Some how I missed out on Ed Peters comment in issue 1 (Oct 1987) regarding when to be choosy: “If I had heeded my own advice, I never would have accumulated a basement full of common Remingtons, Underwoods, L.C. Smiths and the like- some of them so bad that only a mother could love them…”
Or issue 2 (Jan 1988) “Sitting on your hands and enjoying your “secret collection” is kind of like scoring a hole-in-one when you’re playing alone.”
Just goes to show how one’s views change with time and knowledge. (I just sent off my check to subscribe…
To type for nice…

I collected some images of typewriters as a self-portrait.

Some days are just Royal…
It is a good day after all…
Thinking of the Royal 10… its a 10
Sometimes the public buys for the right reason… the Royal 10 is a wonderful, well built machine. Not rare or uncommon but good! (GREAT!!)
Thoughts of the day…
Just taking some time out of the day to see what the keys will print…
Somedays… you appreciate the internet.
I received a bargain book catalog in the mail… I decided to buy stuff like I did in the old days before the internet. Bought a movie for $3.95… and if I had researched it online I would have known it wasn’t worth the $0.01 cent (plus $3.99 shipping it would have cost on Amazon).
Royal… Aristocratic rambles…
Its a Royal Blue Aristocrat in cursive… so I go with the flow…
