#12 Antique

A typewriter at Victoria High School. I guess the principal's secretary used it to type letters to send home with the 'bad' students. This keyboard is a lot different than the one I'm using now!

  1. Can you imagine typing on this now?? NOT! I found my old typewriter from college, think how far we have come in such a short period of time!!

  2. That keyboard is darn strange! I'm surprised its so different in arrangement to our current keyboard.

  3. When my daughter--now 16--was about 8, she saw a typewriter on a TV show and asked, "What's that?" That satement made me feel OLD! But I'll warrant I'm not quite as old as your subject.

  4. That goes back to when they were referred to as "Lady Typewriters" (The operators - not the machines) Great take for the theme in this tech age.

  8. Trouble is, I remember typing on a typewriter not much different from that one.

  9. I could print faster than this could type with me on it! Definite workout for the old fingers! Cool shot.
