Beautiful, and it looks pristine. Your typewriter gravity seems to be increasing in strength–be careful to keep it in check or you’ll wind up pulling in every unwanted machine in Europe.
Dear Dirk,
It’s a comfort to know my typewriter is so well looked after. You even kept the small peace of Sellotape on the ‘color changing handle’.
Unfortunately I never learned the ten-finger-typing so I was unfamiliar with it’s smoothness. See you soon, liesbeth
Adlers have such marvelous tall keys. They remind me of horse teeth. I had a chance to buy one once and passed it up. Should have bought it.
Nice gift. Indeed the typeface calls to mind dittos from spirit duplicator machines.

That’s the best way to get typewriters. I’m immensely grateful to the retired museum curator who gave me her Remington Quiet-Riter.

Ah, I’ll have to keep my eyes open for one of these: Gabrielle is my wife’s name.
