Here are the "before" pictures:

Here is the work in progress:

Here us the final result:

A classy typewriter like this deserves a nice carrying case. I found this totebag on a site called Society6. They do all kinds of designs on totebags and other things and they have dozens of typewriter-themed bags.

Time Travel with Tom

A few weeks ago at the urging of my typing pal Tom I checked out the 1939 World's Fair. I sent him a note and a little packet of pictures.

Today I got this nice note in reply.

Miss Tibbett's Typewriter

This brief little book was first published in 1966 by Weekly Reader Books. I happened to find this copy on Biblio.com which is a great online compendium of independent bookstores.

The story and illustrations are wonderful, telling the story of Miss Tibbett and her not quite perfect typewriter. I am certain that I am at least five decades older than the intended audience for this book, but I found the book to be thoroughly charming.
