My old typewriter - back in the day
This is the type from my old typewriter - a Royal Portable Typewriter, a ringer for the one in these photos. I got this typewriter second-hand back in the '60s when I was in high school, and it might actually date back to about 1930. I used it to type dozens of papers as a student at UCSB. Yep, it still works - but it wouldn't be my first choice for actually writing anything nowadays. I wonder what those other faint characters are on the type? This is my photo for the Macro Mondays group, with the theme of "Back in the Day" - HMM! (San Marcos Pass, 1 April 2018)
