Well, actually she is not a baby, she is very old, 1937 in fact. She is clean as a whistle and with a new ribbon and ready to type up quotes and Scriptures for my art and journal pages. I have always loved a typewriter and why I got ride of my mother's old one I will never know. I wasn't thinking clearly at that point!
But Miss Royal was a great price and she types like a dream and I just love her.
And here is Mr. Bill whose shop is like a wonderful museum and who keeps these vintage beauties in tip top shape. Enjoyed meeting him. I had a good history lesson on typewriters and I loved every minute of it.

It does not type like a dream. I need to see Mr. Bill.

Oh wow this takes me back a good few years to me learning to type at college on an old Imperial typewriter. Ah me...long ago

well that surely is a beauty. I've always wanted a vintage typewriter, but I'm afraid the closest I may get is a vintage font...
i need mr. bill also....i need a ribbon.....great find martha....
Oh Martha, you have started my mouth watering! I have always wanted a vintage typerwriter! Seriously, I would love to write an entire book with one someday! Thanks for the smile.
Hugs and many blessings

Oh Martha, she's a beauty and I can't wait to see the 'evidence' in your journal pages.
Just saw a picture of a vintage mint green typewriter on another blog a minute ago (I'm doing my rounds) and wondered to myself why I don't have one! Cute shop you found yours in!
Martha the typewriter I learned on had the return lever on the left instead of the right side. This has inspired me to get my typewriter out from under the bed and use it instead of wasting a sheet of paper just to type one line or two. I like your red pot all by itself
