Treasure

Found this today at VMART and it evoked so much emotion that I had to have it. Reminding me of my own typewriter I got for my 15th birthday which was a green colour. I cant remember what brand it was. When I started typing, I was quite surprised the amount of strength I needed to make the marks. Then I had to slow down as the striker was getting all bunched up. The noise was Divine and brought back to me the song Yellow Rose Of Texas that we used to do our typing drills to. oh and the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.... This machine allowed me to operate in the writing world as I committed the keyboard layout to my unconscious mind and was able to copy very fast. I used to type up the race guide every Saturday morning for my boss Paddy Fitzgerald's betting shop. Feeling this machine will be used for more personal arty writings.
