RETRO TYPEWRITER CHRISTMAS GIFT ADS

I have a softspot for Typewriters. I often choose typewriters as my photo theme at the Flea Market. I don't collect them (no space or I would), but I do take photos of them.. and occasionally post here on Mystery Fanfare. I also love Retro Ads, so here's the marriage of both... retro typewriter advertisements for the holidays!

The Typewriter: Perfect gift for Christmas from the 20s through the 70s. Happy Holidays!

Mickey Spillane Typewriter up for Auction!

Up for Auction at Heritage Auctions: 

[Mickey Spillane]. Mickey Spillane's Royal Manual Typewriter, Manufactured Circa 1930. Measures approximately 16 x 15 x 11 inches. Signs of rust and some dust soiling, a few typing keys stick a bit. Considering the typewriter's vintage, it's possible that Spillane used this during his early days as a comic book writer for Funnies, Inc. Mickey continued to use a typewriter for his work and correspondence for the rest of his life, never transitioning to the computer. Otherwise, in very good and working condition. From the estate of Mickey Spillane.

For more information, go to Heritage Auctions.
