| ready to be made useful again: sewing machine, 4 typewriters and a old phone |

| cleaning in process. these are from a old cash register |
I'm really not complaining, we are having so much fun ripping this stuff apart... but it would be nice to get the living room back. Do typewriters count as a appliance? I really don't know, but what else would you call them? I can't really think of anything better.......
For the most part, I'm only taking apart things that don't work ( or work well) . One of the typewriters we recently acquired however is much nicer, and it works, and it's PRETTY. Neither Jerry or I have the heart to cut it up... so it might need to find a good home soon. Before we give in and see what's on the inside...

| It's so pretty! It's a portable royal typewriter in sort of a 2-tone olive green, my best guess is 1932-34 based on the spotty info online of serial #'s but it's def early 1930's |

I know what you mean about the typewriter. I was gifted a very old one and was originally very keen to remove the keys for jewellery ... Just couldn't do it...it is quite a novel talking piece in my home now! Hope you find a home for yours... such an unusual colour!

thanks jenni! we actually sold/traded it at an upscale antique place for alittle cash and a typewriter from the 1920's that didn't work and will be a joy to rip up!
