When I spotted this Webster’s at an antique mall, I took the opportunity to find my new theme for a poem. I also picked up a device for writing a poem: a 1950 Royal KMG for only $35. I cleaned the typewriter, equipped it with a new ribbon, and used to write comments on a batch of student papers as well as this poem. Tomorrow it goes on sale at Urban Legend Typewriters.
I've got a typewriter in my collection from that same typewriter shop.
Neat. For some reason I've seen their labels on multiple typewriters recently.
Crikey! Great stuff. Some lovely imagery
That's a perfect example for Robin Williams' character in Dead Poets Society on his theory why the language was invented… ;)
I love that no matter what bargain KMGs and KMMs abound. If you were on a budget and just wanted a typewriter to play with you could hardly do better than to get one of these.
Nice poem too!
Wait a minute!! My Olympia SM8 is from the same shop!!
Want a typewriter that really sounds like a typewriter? The rat-a-tat-tat of the KMG is hard to beat. It's one of my favorites.
