Click, Clack, DING!

My local friend Scott has started up his own typewriter blog (Click, Clack, DING!) and I highly recommend checking it out. The most recent post is on his Remington Premier.

The Premier has a special significance for us because it's the typewriter we met over—I listed it on craigslist and he answered the ad.

I'll bet you know where I got those letters for my new header.

Typewriters in Seattle & Collected Summary of Collecting

These results show, considering they are about 2 years worth of continuous searching, that in the end it doesn't really matter where you look. You will find typewriters worth keeping in just about any venue as long as you keep at it long enough! Perhaps the antique store findings would be much higher if I had allowed myself a limit of, say, $50 instead of $30. But only slightly.

And well, actually, it's Lynnwood and Edmonds but Seattle sounds better.
