I dropped by a couple of the Kansas City West Bottoms antique malls last Friday night. Good JuJu and Liberty Belle's are only open for First Friday's weekend. I brought home an awesome oak letter and paper organizer that made the typewriters happy and a beautiful 1954 Drexel maple end table. There was a lot of good material for catch and release photos. I'll focus on type and print goodies this time around.
This was a lovely display. The typewriter was hammered and missing keys, but the typing instructional overheads were fabulous.
I felt sorry for this Remington Portable. It's too common to be desirable in this condition so it will probably end up victim to the key choppers. I loved playing with the sliding typebars (controlled by the little lever on the right side).
This is from a nice cash register sitting outside.
Yeah, ink. Not all that special, but I love the brand typeface.
Here sits a ginormous and mostly unloved adding machine with chain and gear innards. It still works.
A fairly common Corona Four priced with a degree of optimism seldom seen. At least it will be too expensive to harvest keys from.
Great graphics on this counter sales display. I'm not sure what costs more per character - premium ribbon or HP brand inkjet cartridges.
Fun with letter stamps...
Another great cash register.
