If you follow my blog at all, you realize I've a severe soft spot for manual portable typewriters and so this post will come as no surprise. 
) I'm tickled pink to share another lovely for sale with you today! When I found this darling of a gem, I immediately started envisioning a classic best bridal wear black-and-white fete in the city complete with a baby grand piano, a bouquet of white anemones, all the boys in tails, and, of course, a black-and-white checkered ballroom floor. '
Since I didn't have this dreamy backdrop readily available for a photoshoot with my new Smith-Corona friend, I settled for doing a fun, vintage-styled shoot which was just as much fun ... About the typewriter:This is a gorgeous and classic model that dates back to around the 1930s and remained a staple for many journalists for decades. The clear and glossy keys are so deliciously retro and are one of my favorite details along with the delightful ring of the return bell. The typewriter comes with its original hard carrying case and has a cute handle that makes transporting a cinch. The carrying case also comes with its original key which still works and is shown below.
There is a bit of rusting found on some of the metal portions bridal gown bridal dresses of the typewriter and on the metal portions of the carrying case but I find that only adds to the overall rustic charm! The typewriter measures approximately 11" wide x 12" deep x 5" high. To read more about this typewriter model, click here. Note: Most of the keys still work wonderfully however the "@/cent" key does not work and a few of the keys do stick: T, U, period, question mark, asterisk and the 1/4 . A general repairman would probably be able to fix this quite easily. Also note: The typewriter ribbon has dried out so it would need to be replaced with a fresh ribbon before use. Price: $395.00 + shipping If you're interested in the typewriter and would like to request a shipping quote, just message me your zip code at theclassicbride@gmail.com! First come, first serve. Below you can see the sweet carrying case that comes with the typewriter,bridal shop sale complete with the original key that still works perfectly! Bonus!All the props shown in this shoot are also for sale like that sweet little Falcon camera - circa 1945 ... or the stack of vintage books ... or the rustic trophy so should you see anything you're keen on, just drop me a note at theclassicbride@gmail.com for pricing and shipping info.
