"Fodder"
Another example of the PEN24 as backup in case the other one breaks. Both came up on Yahoo Japan in the same month - nothing since. As my fave from back in the day I'm happy to have a second one. One leg missing so took the lone one off - no appreciable difference especially when used on a hotel towel.
Got lots of ribbon cartridges now but thermal paper without cartridge + photocopier for quality writing do better.
Still looking for the matching case - Typestar5 I believe.

Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.
From Toronto Canada. Tokyo-based entrepreneur since 1998 and meditation teacher since 2000. Learned to type in Grade 9 following mind-altering lunches and still experience flashbacks while typing. Mother did shorthand and typed 90 wpm as stenographer, dad pecked out haiku on his old typewriter as long as I remember. Moved to thermal printing, 8-character display CanoWord Pen 24 in 1986 when my typewriter broke, then to FujiXerox, Mac and iPhone. Bought my first typewriter of the new millennium (a Lettera 32) in March 2015. Muscle memory has graduated to neural reboot--every moment at the typewriter brings back fresh memories of type-happy childhood and visions of literary grandeur. Use typewriter for inspiration/rough drafts and computer/iPhone (Scrivener/Evernote) for polishing.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Canon CanoWord PEN24 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Canon Serial Number page and the Canon CanoWord PEN24 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
