For the Love of a Typewriter

February 4, 2013  Musings | Uncategorized

 

Once upon a time, back when I sported a blue polyester uniform and saddle shoes, I won a typing award.

Yes, I could type a whopping 45 wpm after a year of high school instruction.

Eclectically Vintage

In college, my parents gave me the latest and greatest in technological advancements – an IBM Selectric.

Oh yeah, I was definitely all that and a bag of salt & vinegars when I would type a few words and they would scroll across a tiny computer screen.

Eclectically Vintage

In my first job in corporate America, I had an ancient typewriter on my desk and there was one computer for the entire office to share!

Locked away in a glass enclosed room, it was like Fort Knox.

Eclectically Vintage

Do you think 100 years from now, people will be on the hunt for old Mac Airs and Dells to display in their Jetson like homes?

For now, I’ll stick with the old stuff and even wear it on my wrist.

Eclectically Vintage

How fabulous is this typewriter key bracelet.

    The necklace with the ampersand, number 7, is my favorite. Love the white one. I am a collector of typewriters. I find them and then quite often give them away to my young writer friends. All the Chicago hipsters want manual vintage typewriters. Here is a cute one I found for my daughter. I keep the REALLY old ones for myself. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=342500095763104&set=pb.157757290904053.-2207520000.1359985061&type=3&theater

    Thank you for offering this gift! Typing was my favorite subject in High School, so I took 4 years & learned on an antique manual one as pictured above. I would be thrilled to have a typewriter bracelet! They bring back fun memories!

    Oh my goodness, LOVE that typewriter key bracelet best of all!! And oddly enough, my post tomorrow is on the IBM Selectric font ball! 🙂 I think my Selectric was among the first, for there was no little screen on it. But boy, did I love that typewriter, especially after having learned to type on the old Royal manual!

    Enjoyed this post. So excited about the great giveaway! Please enter me. :-))
