Description:
Golly, don't you just love a script typeface? Well, I do. Typing on this lovely makes me feel as if I am writing poetry, even if it is just another journal entry about the state of my garden. I love to use this machine to write letters - I feel that it gives the reader an enhanced impression of my writing ability, makes them sit up a little straighter and check the mirror for hair sticking up in back. Which is as it should be.

Started with one typewriter in our small cottage, and ended up with over twenty! Transformed a closet into a gothic "typewriterbrary" and it makes a great centerpiece for the house, and an easy way to access all the typewriters for writing letters, journaling, and whatnot, as well as keeping them dust-free in the betweentimes.
