Old typewriters...


I LOVE old typewriters. I just found this one on Friday at Old Town Antiques in Duluth MN.

Thank you, Sarah.......it was in her booth in the window. She has the best treasures.

It's not a No. 5, which I really want, but it works, and it will be fun to use for many projects. 

I think they are such a big part of history, just think of  everything that was typed on these -

Manuscripts for plays and movies - like - Gone With The Wind

All of the books

Love letters 

I love to find old typed letters and documents, they look so cool, compared to things typed on computers today. The letters are uneven and not spaced properly, which give them such charm.

I may have to type letters to my Grandchildren on this one.



This Underwood is really a big typewriter. I will probably keep it for a while, and then sell it in the shop. Hopefully I will find a No. 5 someday in good working order.

Have a good day, ladies.
