[EDIT] Sure enough, upon careful examination prompted by Ken Coghlan's comment, I discovered this is indeed a repaint. So much for thoughts of rarity and grandeur! There were blue SM8s made, at least, but they had all white keys and knobs and weren't sold in this country.

The inevitable reality is when you get 50 typewriters together, wonderful things like this pair happen!

Still trying to figure out how to take the best pictures possible with my camera. It really struggles in indoor light situations. I think I've gotten one step closer to good photos, and the table/board background looks better than the blanket.

Also, if you haven't heard of Rob Bowker's excellent post card idea yet, check out his post on Typewriter Heaven.
