I am astonished and amazed indeed. That kind of typewriters are the very worthwhile to collect...xD<br /><br />You can also check out my blog, where I post my typecasts written with the square type style from my huge, giant Olympia:<br />http://joshbeta1.Robin Heilschild 【蓋面】https://www.blogger.com/profile/03429820251341371094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-57725956718827227062014-08-05T01:43:43.296+02:002014-08-05T01:43:43.296+02:00Miss you! :DMiss you! :DTedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774432656602082311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-64287841799323956362014-01-31T01:49:16.377+01:002014-01-31T01:49:16.377+01:00Didn't know that you, and Robert were sewing m...Didn't know that you, and Robert were sewing machine collectors also!!?? I must have 40 or so, I've lost track - so many that they don't, with their full treadles and cabinets, fit in my two story house any more. A bunch went into storage at a friends office as I got ready to to Christmas dinner for friends. My favorite American ones are Nationals, and particularly Damascus Rotary Don Lamperthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10033476212606822358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-9027116545311758352013-11-15T07:27:15.650+01:002013-11-15T07:27:15.650+01:00I am afraid you are wrong, very wrong about the Sp...I am afraid you are wrong, very wrong about the Sphinx.

I get to enjoy my fun cushions and curtains everyday, whereas with sewing clothes I only see them once in a while because there's only one of me to wear all my dresses (and some of the more violently colorful ones are only taken out occasionally...). I'm not much of a DIY-er if sewing isn't involved - I can barely pound in a nail straight - but it is fun to look and dream. <br Adwoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457285629002149759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6021475418975786274.post-12051739678619435142013-11-13T10:50:48.055+01:002013-11-13T10:50:48.055+01:00The transcontinental effect is interesting indeed,...The transcontinental effect is interesting indeed, I hadn't thought of it that way!
