to what typewriter?

An hour after I post this, a burgundy Quiet De Luxe came up on eBay. What is it with timing?!

Contest with a real prize--nothing to loose!

Your task is simple. Identify the exact model of typewriter in that blurry, sicko picture I took. Send me your conclusion via email. belandnick (at) yahoo.com -- Be as specific as you can. I'm looking for manufacturer (uhhh... that's easy), model, and year range. As the year range isn't too easy, I'll be generous on that one. What do you win for your efforts? Your pick of either item shown in the pictures below, shipped cost-free to any location in the continental US. (I wish I could send them overseas but...no way!) First one to email me with a good solid correct answer wins. This is no trick question. Have fun. :)

40 metallic red Dennison Notarial Seals

Lots of Eureka/Litton green Gummed Foil Stars.

I found both of these items (new in package, in quantity) at a 'yard sale' at an old stationery shop, for very cheap! If I feel generous I might give the second person to email me with a good answer their pick as well.

Well guess what & Typewriter Day

I look like such a dork in that photo. It was staged to look ridiculous though....

SCM Changeable Type & An easy mystery

This came with my SCM Smith-Corona Galaxie Twelve that I'm going to say is mid to late 70s, because it's definitely newer than my Classic 12 that I gave to my sister, it has newer-style changeable type keys and a couple more parts plastic instead of metal. Still, I prefer it to the Classic 12!


Play the guessing game, I'm making it too easy by providing such a generous swath of the typewriter! I'll be doing the next typecast with it, just got it all cleaned up in the bathtub. So what is it?

I'm done with the non-typecast posts for now, sick of typing in descriptions on my computer. I miss being able to say 'Typed on xxxxx' at the bottom of each post. I miss my coloured paper...

New findings & Guess the mystery typewriter!
