Thank you so much for your kind comments. I'm very pleased that you like the photo.

I do love using typewriters, there's no denying! My grandmother kept her old one, and every time I visited as a kid, I would use it. Thanks for sharing! ^__^

There seems to be something about typewriters that engenders almost universal affection. This photo generated a number of similar comments before they were lost in the recent hacking incident. I'm thrilled that it continues to do so. Thanks for taking the time to share your story of your grandmother's typewriter.

Hmm, for some reason, I'm now tempted for some s-qwerty cream!

Ha-hah! Marvelous.

There's something about those old typewriters with the round keys that's quite appealing. When my primary school updated its typewriter for the library, I got the old one. It was an Olivetti, though I can't remember the model. It was probably made in the 1980s. It had a light grey case, and had grey squarish keys, I think. I made the mistake of touching the string that ran underneath the carriage, and forever ruined its ability to move along with each character typed.

Ah, the good old days...

My dad used an Olivetti manual typewriter for years, which he eventually upgraded to an Olivetti electric. I still have the electric one, although it has been 20 years or more since I've used it.

Thanks for taking the time to comment.

A good typewriter will always make me stop and take a better look. If I could afford one, and work out where to get consumables, I'd definitely get another. Having said that, I'd then have to retype everything to post on the Internet.

There is something about a typewriter that people seem to find irresistible. This photo is one that I originally posted before the cyber attack on FA. Prior to the file restore, it had gathered a large number of comments, more than any of my other photos. I'm glad that it still seems to be drawing plenty of interest. Thanks again

Mua hahaha yessss. Typewriters are my new favorite thing. It's amazing with all the oils on our hands that the keys are so bright and lovely on the Underwood. :)

Modern computer keyboards just can't compare.

They really can't. As much as I appreciate my little plastic wireless keyboard at work, it really is a wildly different feel than typing on a proper typewriter machine.

I'm about seven years late, but this is a very nice shot!

A machine hailing from an era when the 'Back Spacer' button simply moved back one space, rather than deleting the previous character.

Based on that crinkle finish, green backspace key, and tabular keys in the back of the shot, this appears to be an Underwood Master, Noiseless Standard, or Model S.

Wow, it doesn’t seem that long since I posted this. You really took a deep dive into my gallery to find it. I appreciate your interest and your notes on the possible model.

This is still one of my personal favorite photos. I frequently used it as a wallpaper image on my PC at work.
