Behold my husband's latest hyperfixation:
Manual typewriters
Okay, technically the one at the bottom right is an adding machine, but the rest are typewriters. And this isn't even all of them.
The oldest we have is hard to pinpoint, as he hasn't been able to date the ones on the lowest left shelf yet. But so far the oldest are the Underwoods (middle left shelf) which are both from 1928.
He used to collect old bikes (like from the 30s and 40s) and those were space hogs, expensive, and a bitch to work on. These are at least smaller, a lot cheaper, much easier to clean and restore, and are more useful.
My personal favorites are the larger Underwood and the blue Royal right above it on the left.
We're a normalcy deprived family.
Edit:
Oh, he just sent me a breakdown of them:
This image of an 1800’s “vardo” has been circulating on Facebook….
Now this is the real image:
We DO NOT need to photoshop traditional vardos to make them more appeasing, both are gorgeous, historical, and hold so many memories and weight.
Let’s stop trying to make Romani culture into an ancient aesthetic and accept it for what it is 👏 !

Vandalism for the good of all
If you can't wash it off, paint over it, replace the item, or buff it out, turn a message of hate into one of love! I would never condone someone to do this discreetly and in mere seconds with a quickly concealed permanent marker, for example on a public bench or bus stop. Certainly not anything like whipping out a tat machine and adding to an unconscious white supremacist's existing tattoo. That would be illegal! :) And, dear followers, I would never encourage you to do something that's illegal. So, please only use this when someone has defaced your personal property to avoid breaking the law! Because that would be illegal, and following in the law is always in everyone's best interest. :) .... :) reblogs and even reposts definitely welcome
1$ flea market score. Tiny glass 1960s perfume bottles. I love them.
