Typewriter Spotting in the Wild

I decided this forum required a thread like this. One specifically dedicated to sharing the pictures and/or experiences we've had regarding spotting typewriters in the wild. 

This thread is NOT to show typewriters which you have PURCHASED. We already have one for that. This is just about typewriters that you've SEEN. If you should happen to buy the typewriter which you've seen at a later date, stick it in the appropriate thread. 

Here are some of the typewriters I've seen ever since I started carrying my camera around with me habitually... 




I might've considered buying this one, but it looks like it's had some significant structural damage (It appears to have been dropped and repaired at least once). 




This Royal remained in my local antique shop for over a YEAR before it finally sold. I don't know who bought it, but they're gonna have a time getting it to work properly. 


This antique Remington 11 is a massive machine. My reckoning, it weighs about 40 pounds at least.
