And as for writing novels, it's best to stick with something with a 4-bank keyboard rather than trying to hack it out with one of these little dialers.Typewriter Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10078601548340469955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-43652800472690108992016-02-11T14:23:54.056-05:002016-02-11T14:23:54.056-05:00Thank you for the ad!

Hard to top that. Great background indeed.<br />I feel the same way about index typewriters. I think the main appeal to me in typewriters is the writing function so I tend to only get much enjoyment from ones which could be used more than a few sentences.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13696315805054881380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-85985085178443751812016-02-09T10:57:13.641-05:002016-02-09T10:57:13.641-05:00You could certainly make one for Liliput.

Very unusual, and I agree that this is not what the typical Depression consumer would buy for a child! I'm uploading the complete ad to the end of this post.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-35479724005994325912016-02-09T04:18:23.269-05:002016-02-09T04:18:23.269-05:00Off-topic (or perhaps not), but what a great backg...Off-topic (or perhaps not), but what a great background image of Mickey at the keys! Where do you find this? <br />For advertising aimed at kids, that's a very grown-up and expensive typewriter to pitch. Though also the Gnom would have been quite an expensive toy to give back then, I suspect. Interesting little contraption.
