Underwood 5 Standard Typewriter
I recently acquired this example of an Underwood 5 Standard Typewriter. Serial number suggests that it was made in the second half of 1928 and sold by the Thomas & Corney Typewriters Ltd. of Toronto, Ontario. The letter s is striking off line, but all else seems to work well. This typewriter cost me $10 and $9 for a new ribbon.

WAR of 1812 Fort York, Toronto, Ontario, Canada – writing desk or secretary
visited there last week with my Nikon D3100 and a Metz 44 flash
organized and simplicity, wonder where the candlestick sat. For those unfamiliar with the design, the writing surface is a fold down surface. When writing done, the surface lifts back up and locks securely with a key. There were also a few secret compartments in desks of this type.
early 19th century time travel always jars when it reminds how much we rely on electricity for absolutely everything.

For once I got embarassed by not checking my Nikon DSLR D3100 lithium battery charge state. I normally go for a week without recharging. But at an art show opening, no juice in the battery. Sheesh. Thinking back over the week I had shot a lot of shots at Fort York in Toronto, many with the aux. flash (Metz 44) in use. But I had my Blackberry Playbook with me and it had half its charge left and so a few shots got taken. Enough to put on the blog of the Huronia Museum where the art show is running until June 27….
