Description:

Asked at a yard sale. The daughter of the original owner decided that I would be a worthy fellow to pass it on to. She’s right.

This original(?) Quiet model is somewhat smaller than a ‘40s Quiet DeLuxe.

Typeface Specimen:

Photos:

The back cover on the carriage is missing and the paper table is a little bent. Well ... life.

The paper table label is embossed, ground flat, polished, chromed, and then the piece is masked and painted. Looks nicer than a decal.

By 1937, standardization as pretty well established.

These next tree pics show the relative sizes of a 1937 Quiet and a 1949 Quiet DeLuxe designed by Dreyfus.

While I find all of mankind's inventions interesting, I am most enchanted by the human-scale arts and devices, the ones that can be created (and repaired) in a home workshop or studio; the ones that can be understood by looking at them; the ones that do something useful or stir admiration. Typewriters work for me.
