He’s makin’ a list, checkin’ it twice, gonna find out who’s naughty or nice…
I’m cataloging all of my machines. This is step one of wrapping up my second phase of typewriter *collecting* and starting the path to fully appreciating the best specimens of the herd – the threaded stock, if you will. I’ve cataloged typing samples, a short blurb and serial numbers for everything except the 60’s SCM’s […]

Trash Eighty Four Pea
The Return of Little Jake
My old page on Little Jake says he’s a 1934, but I’ve since learned that TW-DB is a bit off sometimes. The 1933 date comes from the NOMDA line book from 1964. Also, those pics don’t really show how nice the paint is. The third picture makes it look like the sides are all filthy […]

We both were dubious, considering the rather huge mechanical difference between the two shift […]

Worldwide Typewriter Day 2011
Ted & Tori travel to the Brinton Desert Botanical Garden (like a mile away) to celebrate World Typewriter Day 2011 by typing on their matched 1964 Hermes 3000’s in the 108 degree heat. Our Typewriter day video. Hopefully watching two people type is less boring than watching one person type. :D We decided to celebrate […]
