26 IX 2013 / Dip Pencast

The record book is from the 1950s, the pen holder is probably from the 1940s, the nib was bought new in the mid-2000s, and the ink (made right in Seattle and costs the same as the Higgins India ink I dislike) is from the 2010s.

After a bit of research it looks like this probably isn't the best nib for ordinary writing.

Adventure Typewriter Search + Mystery Typewriter (part 2)

You can find out the exact details of the mystery typewriter if you know what to look for. ;)

Colon Mountain: Notice how the fields and houses continue right up it...haha

Looks like that Hammond probably wasn't worth over $300. Such price inflation! It was beside a $600 Oliver though...and across from a caseless $150 Corona 3.

Adventure Typewriter Search Results! (part 1)

The Adler cleaned up surprisingly well! In fact, it looks like not only did I clean off the gunk, but some of the scuffing went away too. I didn't expect that. All I did was scrub the plastic with an electric toothbrush--first with goo gone, then with dish soap. It did wonders.

But for once you finally see typewriters as I found them. Almost no cleaning has been done for these makeshift photos, aside from the Adler. I didn't have any time to clean them up before the sun completely set, and then I'd just have to wait until the next day to take photos. I'll show the cleaned up typewriters in much better photos when the time comes.

I photographed the typecasts once more instead of scanning them. Out of laziness, I guess. I didn't want to get the scanner out. XD I think the scanner does do a better job in these low-light conditions...

Sent from my new typewriters: Hermes 2000, Adler J5, Smith-Corona Galaxie Twelve, and Smith-Corona Skyriter.

Travelling Companion

I tried photographing my typecast instead of scanning it in preparation for any travel typecasts, and I am more than pleased with the results, even in my poor lighting.

The Story of an Adventure / Underwood with a £

1939 Underwood Leader E1272379

The keyboard is thoroughly nonstandard.

Size comparison with my SM3, it is not as deep.

Size comparison with my SM3, it is also narrower!
