Apologies for the somewhat bad photographs. I wanted to avoid using flash.

Nobody won the contest. It was too tough.



My new old alarm clock chirps like a bird. When you press the 'Doze' button,

how long you hold it down is related to how long it waits til it starts up again.

When it starts after a doze, it starts slowly and speeds up. It's cute.

Not quite the best alarm for waking you up roughly!

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.

Royal Dart found in thrift. See inside for details.
