Don't browse the large local thrift store all that often. Was dropping off some items, so did a walk around the store. This time there even was a typewriter, a proper typewriter too. In decent shape with very little rust and its feet up on the paper table.
Made 90-odd years ago in Ilion across the Atlantic, now sitting in a thrift shop in the North of The Netherlands. Keyboard layout fairly standard for a Dutch machine.
Did not get it, did not even enquire what the asking price would be. Restraint.
What I did get was a small stack of these. Also heavy, but much less volume to store :)

ReplyDeleteYou should go back and buy it.
ReplyDeleteYou will be glad you did.
Admittedly tempted. No empty spot on a desk though... ;-)
