Description:
Antique store find so a little bit pricy, but I’d been looking for this typeface. This one has small Spencerian script. I like the paper assist lever! It is super clean with a fresh ribbon. The space bar clunks and shift makes the upper case characters so low that they miss the sweet spot on the platen. Typing in all lower case for now but hope to have it repaired, or I will sell it. Sold to Wendy 2023

I have many pen pals and correspond via handwritten and typed letters. I have a (painful) sitting disability and type while standing- UPDATE! I can also type on an ultraportable I set up on my bed. Typing and collecting machines with different typefaces keeps me busy and happily distracted from the difficulties in life-fountain pens, too, and I can write legibly, in cursive, while laying down. Join me on Type Pals and register for the monthly postcard exchanges. The “Cat Mews” is a quarterly publication of the philatelic topical group Cats On Stamps Study Unit (COSSU), for which I am a column contributor. My cats are Wiffle Wizard and Urushi (Rushi) Blizzard, aka the Blizzard Sisters.
