Despite the fact that many things are no-longer made in the USA. I still buy everything here. And proud of it.
Made in America? I buy in America!

Type Two… return to type…
Just another day on a 110 year old machine.
My 1903 Underwood 4… a zombie typewriter.
The typing dead. I thought it was gone forever… then it began to move….
Lost & Found time…
Somehow I lose time when I type… then discover I had enough to type. Not sure where the found time came from…
Only attached typewriter keys for me…
Just don’t get it… much better attached to a typewriter than hanging on someone’s ear… or neck… or arm or finger.
Good thoughts… good things… seem to follow
Nice things happen today. And this 1918 Underwood works nice this day as well.
Movie Review: The Sapphires
Great fun… seeing another perspective of the 1960’s was both moving and mind expanding.
For more information regarding this movie… read Mr. Robert Messenger’s post on his blog ozTypewriter. Mr. Messenger is Australian and provide both insight and knowledge regarding this movie and the times it depicts. (Gee).
Touchmaster Five for $5.00…
Based on the serial number I say this is from 1967 (it would have been nice if it were 1965. Then it would five for five from 65. Shopgoodwill does it again. I give to charity and charity gives me a great toy to play with.
Jumping the Shark… or just having fun?
There is that moment when a show runs out of fresh thoughts and ideals… they get desperate… they jump the shark! Has typeoh! Reached the point when the only thing to consider is the consideration of thought is so desperate I can only think of “Happy Days?”… (NOT!!)
So far so good… 8 months with a 1923 Underwood 3-Bank
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!!!
