Here is an image of the logo and sticker on the front of the machine (obviously taken before I finished cleaning it). Sorry about the poor quality of that typecast--apparently, purple ribbon ink doesn't scan very well, and even photoshop had trouble with it. __________ Did you guys see this article on Yahoo this morning?… Continue reading Typecast #5

Type spotting…Tuesday
So the other day, we were chatting with my aunt and uncle and told them the story of how I got my first typewriter, Henry (Royal KMM): My parents were at an auction, and spotted a cluster of items up for sale. Among them was the dusty Royal standard, and they decided to bid on… Continue reading Type spotting…Tuesday
Personal History
It is hard to believe that less than five months ago, I didn't even know that the Typoshere existed. Sure, I had a vague idea that somewhere out there, a few people might collect one or two old machines, but that they actually still used them and that there was a community around that usage… Continue reading Personal History

The Obsession Grows
If you aren't interested in vintage, antiques, or typewriters, go ahead and skip this post. I promise I'm still knitting and will write more about that soon. For everyone else: Squee!! So in the last two days I've spent the vast majority of my time at home scouring the internet for information on typewriters. I've… Continue reading The Obsession Grows
I have a new obsession.
Meet Henry. Henry is a 1945-46 (to the best of my knowledge, based on his serial number) Royal KMM manual typewriter. I’ve been wanting a manual typewriter (or two, or three) for years and years, but I figured that I didn’t need another hobby and that with the prevalence of computers now I wouldn’t be… Continue reading I have a new obsession.
