I have a fascination with manual typewriters and the start of a collection. This is a nice toy typewriter that was tucked in a tiny back room at Josie's Antiques in DeKalb.
I love the solid feel of having to strike a key with some force and the clackety-clack sound.
One of the oddest things I've ever seen is a tape of one of the original NASA launches back in the Gemini days. There, out in the sunshine covering the launch was a reporter with an old Underwood on his lap, typing away his news story.

Love your photo.the typewriter is fabulous!! Laurie
Love this old typewriter! BTW...those damask stencils are GREAT...you might consider doing a light glaze over the stenciled wall when you finish. This softens the edges and really creates a professional look!
Have a blessed and wonderful day!

My Emma, who is 7, is just dying for an old manual typewriter. I've started hunting garage sales and thrift stores. I hope I'm lucky enough to find one that pretty for her. And ribbons would be nice too!
