Robert Messenger, I thought of you when photographing this newspaper building:

Neat dealer sticker on a Blick case in Rich's collection:

... and a decal from Milwaukee:

A glimpse of the Mars Cheese Castle by the side of the Interstate at sunset tells me that I'm in Wisconsin:

Well, I had to do something to help fund this trip, so these are two typewriters I'll be putting up for sale at the collectors' convention.

Here's The Noiseless portable #92 — yes, the serial number is 92. Super cute little machine, but I got a very nice later one with a tiger decal, so I can stand to part with this one.

And here is Standard Folding Typewriter #11595. As most readers know, this was the predecessor to the Corona folding.

If I don't sell them in Milwaukee, they'll be available for sale after the convention.
