Congratulations! What a wonderful gift! The typewriter looks fantastic, even new. The typeface is very nice. good job with the WD-40. I await the re-inking results.
Wow! A nice gesture on Walt's part. Nice machine, sir. I was beginning to wonder what had happened to you. And if the case is missing a handle, you could pull the same trick I did on my Royal. Works like a charm. Congrats on a nice typewriter.
Wow - what an unusual paint job. Looks kind of like a theatre prop. (I just sent off a 'surprise' typer to a pen friend in VA. It's fun being the sender too!)
Of all the typewriter pics you posted, I love this one the most! Mostly because the color would go so nice in my house, LOL! I picture it on a side table waiting for someone to leave a message on it. The second picture of Walt is stunning. I'm the world's worst pen pal.

ReplyDeleteSweet! At some point, I hope you get to see Walt's coffee pot collection -- and maybe blog about it.

Pretty! Hmm, I see my guessing skills need some work. But at least the Royal is far more interesting than another SC portable, anyway.
ReplyDeleteI looked at the first picture of Walt and couldn't help wondering if his last name might be Whitman
ReplyDeleteWonderful story Cam, and delightfully written. Was just checking your blog today and came across it!
