National Typewriter Day: Giant Typewriter

Yesterday was National Typewriter Day. I imagine there are some people out there who have never seen one. Hopefully not too many. So for this holiday, from one of my favorite websites, Retronaut, comes these archival photos of the Giant Typewriter at the World's Fair 1940.

Vintage Typewriters: National Typewriter Day!

I often see Vintage Typewriters at the Flea Market and Estate Sales. They're really cool. I learned to type on my mother's already vintage typewriter, so vintage typewriters are close to my heart. 

Vintage Typewriters I've come across at Flea Markets. Great for National Typewriter Day!

TYPEWRITERS: Christmas Gift Ads from the TWENTIETH CENTURY

I have a softspot for Typewriters. I don't collect typewriters (no space or I would), but I do take photos of them.. and occasionally post here on Mystery Fanfare. But for today, here Typewriter gift ads for Christmas from the 1920s through the 1970s. Happy Holidays!
