Wow, well, there's a use for an old typewriter.

Two cool old microwaves at the restore. The one with the green dial apparently counts down and dings at the end, like an egg timer.

Haunted cat and deformed cow, and a type writer that still has the ink ribbon. At value Village.

This image was one of several posted here about "Dracula" the techno-thriller.

Ad copy : "A Five-Pound Private Secretary" Illustration : a Lovecraftian horror with innumerable non-Euclidean arms

And that sparked a memory of another couple of posts from several years back.

One of them featured this typewriter:

The other featured a chair to sit in while using it:

Just the setup for writing bedtime stories after dark...

Macy's clerks do their best not to be buried under the mass of boxes waiting for delivery in the shipping department, early 1940s.

A weird, possibly vintage rock rockman Keychain I got, wolf lamp, a $6 keyboard that was heavily debated but I didn't feel like strapping it to a truck bed in -35, sad monke, a squirrel with soulless eyes, pleasing typewriter, an overwhelming amount of the same book, a $5 wii we bought that came with a wireless motion sensor and a surround sound cable (I had no clue Nintendo made those).

Value Village, bibles for missions, and cash Canada pawn in red deer, AB.

Behold my husband's latest hyperfixation:

Manual typewriters

Okay, technically the one at the bottom right is an adding machine, but the rest are typewriters. And this isn't even all of them.

The oldest we have is hard to pinpoint, as he hasn't been able to date the ones on the lowest left shelf yet. But so far the oldest are the Underwoods (middle left shelf) which are both from 1928.

He used to collect old bikes (like from the 30s and 40s) and those were space hogs, expensive, and a bitch to work on. These are at least smaller, a lot cheaper, much easier to clean and restore, and are more useful.

My personal favorites are the larger Underwood and the blue Royal right above it on the left.

We're a normalcy deprived family.

Edit:

Oh, he just sent me a breakdown of them:
