People,often ask how I got into typewriters…here’s the answer… #stephentowntypewriterco

When a guy in town invites you up to see his Model A and you find this!

Today’s event… Stephentown Typewriter Company is helping with a recreation of the Kinderhook Bugle. We re-created the “newsroom” with vintage typewriters while young children reporters are out gathering their stories to come back and type them up later!

Picked up a Hermes Rocket today…original sales receipt, manual, and warranty still in the case. I’m sure this gentleman has passed on, but it amazes me what treasures we find in our quest for typewriters! Stephentown Typewriter Company #hermesrocket

The typewriter, a modern marvel! It can do what you MacBook Air, Neo, Pro, iPad, laptop cannot do; produce manual, uninterrupted writing. No AI, no software updates, no need for Wi-Fi, no crashes, no squiggly lines telling YOU what YOU should write, just a machine that lets you create in the simplest and most honest form there is! A simple but very precise piece of engineering. You can see some of these modern marvels today as Stephentown Typewriter Company will be at Braveheart Books from 12-4 with typewriters, doing basic service on machines and having a great time! Books and typewriters! A match which meant to be!! See you there!

Early morning work Stephentown Typewriter Company while the rubber is out being recovered by J.J. Short Associates, Inc. I’m cleaning, putting new feet on and getting this beautiful 1932 black and gold Underwood Portable ready for some lucky person to own once it’s finished! It will be ready to go soon!! #stephentowntypewriterco

The seller had this listed as a “parts machine” and I decided to take a gamble after consulting with Everett E. Henderson Jr. and chatting back and forth, I decided to buy it. Luckily for me it paid off. The only thing wrong was the drawband was disconnected and the ribbon vibrator was gummy, there was a shift bind and a couple of keys were sticking. All easy fixes.
Only 56,000 of these machines were made in WWII and I am now the proud custodian of one! It will remain in my collection. I’d like to think my Dad who was in the Navy possibly typed on one of these. What an incredible find! I feel blessed! #stephentowntypewriterco

Acquired another new typewriter cabinet from Ikea so now my Stephentown Typewriter Companycollection is all stored safely, inventoried and looking pretty good if I do say so myself. Some of the machines have the platens removed because I’m either waiting for them to come back from or they are on their way toJ.J. Short Associates, Inc. #stephentowntypewrter

While the platen and feed rollers are being shipped to J.J. Short, I removed the body panels from the 1927 Royal P, put new feet on both the machine and the case, cleaned the body and machine and reassembled. Here are some before and after pics! Stephentown Typewriter Company
