A fine flatbed

This 1912 Royal no. 5 "flatbed" machine was one of a group of three typewriters I bought locally. The other two were a very nice green Lettera 22 and a Blick 7 that needed some serious disassembly and cleaning. They are all bringing funds to WordPlay Cincy.

I don't have "before" pics, but I can tell you that this machine was dirty, rusty, and inoperable. Still, it seemed worth trying to restore, since it had fairly good paint and came with an uncommon wooden base and sheet-metal cover.

Swap Meet

Sandy and I dropped by the flea markedt at a local church. Kind of a warmish day, people out and about and appearing to be enjoying themselves. I had no interest in most of the wares for sale, but these mannequin heads caught my attention.
