Vintage Underwood Typewriter
All through university I typed all my essays and assignments on a similar
typewriter - except it was a Royal, very second hand and well used
(no letters or numbers on the keys)
bought by my Mom from a typing classroom because I was in University.
I remember using onion skin paper and erasing my errors and retyping because
of the eraser holes in the paper.
When cleaning out a box of papers the other day I
found so many old essays.
and 'let them go', a 35+ years stack of memories
no longer needed.
The typewriter was given away many years ago.
The Underwood below came with a handwritten note saying it had
been sold off in 1936 when the business changed hands,
North Battleford, Saskatchewan.

Love your typewriter, but most of all your story.
ReplyDeleteI just bought an old one L.C.Smith and Bros. that I just love. Wonder where it came from and the hands that stroked the keys. Lovely thoughts.

Oh how nostalgic - and how neat :).
ReplyDeleteWhat a great piece! High school typing class was my favorite. Times have really changed, thanks for the memory! And the welcome!

I recently bought two typewriters. I'm sort of getting addicted to them now. I remember getting my fingers stuck in between the keys when I was little.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a look at your typewriter and your memories!
