Pink Olympia

1962 Olympia SM7 2009885






The only flaw with this is one broken/missing plastic card holder. I was lucky to get it at a reasonable price (for a pink typewriter on ebay) because after the original auction ended with no bidders, I gave the seller a lower offer which they accepted.

Revelation of Perfektion

1956 Triumph De Jur Perfekt 1231026















Not only am I not in the habit of spending $80 on a typewriter, I don't think I'd ever done it before. But it was worth every single one of those four twenties. So much for 8 photos. I went for 12. I think everybody deserved them, too. And if you haven't noticed, I am very fond of pinning years down on typewriters that aren't exact or verified. This is because I like to have a year rather than 195X, and if I'm off a bit it then oh well. It doesn't really matter that much.

There is absolutely no consensus on how we ought to officially label these as. I've seen Triumph DeJUR, Triumph De Jur, Triumph-DeJur, Triumph De JUR, and Triumph De-Jur. Notice how the badge on the back of the typewriter, and the brush and cleaning cloth do not say DeJUR on them.

Machines of Loving Grace (scroll down for the De Jur)

Perfectly printed and packaged by my new Triumph De Jur Perfekt

Perhaps a Flat Typewriter / Thirteen Thoughtful Thinkers

1963 Olympia SF B 617738








I kind of wanted to get the new Olympias out of the way. That's done now.

Queerly pushed onto paper by an Olympia SF.

Some tide-pools were absolutely swarming with life, much more than these photos indicate. Some sea stars were also orange. The sun came out at the end of the day as well!
