A lunchtime stroll round the local thrift-store, several typewriters this time.
This orange Olivetti tried hard to blend in on the orange-table. Despite the camouflage, the typewriter was spotted and pictured :-)
Next typewriter spotted was a large, black Olympia 8 standard. This would date from the late 1930s and had plenty of rust and a broken drawband (and likely more things out of order). Probably very decorative in an 'industrial decor', but otherwise only suitable as a source of spare parts (if you're fixing up an old Olympia).
Not tempting at all were the Antares and Brother on a shelf in the next-door thrift-store... ;-)
That Antares with the side handle is a neat design, has a tray in the bottom for spare paper storage, I think. (:
ReplyDeleteAh, hadn't even noticed the side-handle, that's an original idea. Only noted the A-logo on the lid (and quickly stepped away from an overwhelming amount of plastic ;-)
