Channeling Hemingway

I found this beautiful old typewriter last fall at a little vintage/junk/antique shop up north. I think it's from the early 1930's and I recall paying around $35 for it.

And yes, it still works fine. 

Although I would not like to type out a manuscript on it. The keys require some pretty heavy pressing.

No upcycling involved in this purchase, although it did need a bit of cleaning. And I added some baby oil to the ribbon rolls to moisten the ink.

It sits on my living room coffee table now.

I'm happy with it.
