Typewriter pads -- SOLD OUT

SOLD OUT 

The Jackalope Typewriter Pad is just what your typewriter needs: 

soft, quiet felt on top, with the firm grip of rubber on the bottom.

Try a Jackalope and experience typewriting pleasure!

Dimensions: 13" x 14" x 0.25".

Spacious enough to support a Selectric, but light and flexible. 

The top side of the Jackalope is felt in a variety of pleasant tan and grey shades,
lightly coated to stop fluff loss and to help hold your typewriter. (Click to enlarge.)



The rubber underside of the Jackalope firmly and safely grips your desk or tabletop. (Click to enlarge.)




A very limited number of Jackalope Typewriter Pads is for sale on an experimental basis. I welcome typospherians' opinions on the quality and value of this pad. If you are not pleased with it, you can send it back for a full refund.

All profits will benefit WordPlay Cincy, a children's writing and tutoring center in Cincinnati, Ohio that uses, sells, and celebrates typewriters.

At this time I am shipping only within the US and accepting payment only through PayPal
(credit cards are accepted).

Price: $11.99 + $3.00 U.S. shipping.

SOLD OUT

Thanks to everyone who ordered pads!

I'll offer pads again, I hope, after getting customer feedback.

Keep your eye on this blog. 

SF Bay Area type-in on Dec. 27

The latest typewriter safari

Time for another safari this morning at the Ohio Valley Antique Mall. 

'50s Smith-Corona Sterling with a broken pull cord, $40:

 Oliver 5, with case but no base, frozen with rust, $45. 

There was a nice new leather handle on the case, though.

Cute little Sewhandy. Hi, Adwoa!

 

Royal Academy, $18:

 Smith-Corona Silent-Secretarial, $49:

Wide-carriage Royal KMM with replacement (?) green keys, $39 

(sorry about the blurriness of these photos):

Airline radio, $24. If only it didn't have that big crack on top ... and if only I had shelf space ... 

in some parallel world I am a radio collector!

Olivetti-Underwood Studio 44, $35. The typebars on left and right are very sluggish and the ribbon cover doesn't fit -- it's as if it came from a similar, but not identical Studio 44.

Smith-Corona Corsair, $59:

Tom Thumb, $30 (there were 3 similar ones):

The joys and sorrows of a '50s marriage: 

Wide-carriage Olympia SG1, $49:

Olympia SG3, rusty, no price shown:

In the end, I didn't buy any of these. Would you? 

(I see you, Ton, looking at that Studio 44. I would have bought it if that cover had fit!)
