Odd Consul

1966 Consul 1532 6 231 059330








Prepared for digital publication on my Consul 1532.

If you do a simple Google Images search, for Consul 1532, all the pictures that show up are of this actual machine. I haven't been able to find another one like this by that method. On oz.Typewriter there can be found a photo of an older uncommon design that looks somewhat like this but is different.

An hour after I post this, a burgundy Quiet De Luxe came up on eBay. What is it with timing?!

Olympia: 3 Blocks From Its Origin

1970 Olympia SM9 3931918





The script logo can be found hiding on the back. I wonder how it would look switched with the front one.

Amazingly, this has stayed in downtown Tacoma all of its life. It was sold a few blocks from where I live!



Sent marvelously from my new Olympia SM9

Notagain, I'm sure you've come across a typewriter from Allied Business Machines.

What would your life be like without typewriters?


Typewriters are one of the core columns of my existence.

Produced on CRO, my Olympia SM3, on origami paper.
