Just curious. Are there any typewriters where the capital "W" is a crossed-W or a W-with-four-upper-terminals? You might know it as a capital-W with an "x" in the middle, or as a capital-W with 3 v's. You can find a picture of the "W" here: http://www.identifont.com/identify?6+wW+B6H+30C+20+9Y+8R2

Going through the latest ETCetera I saw a North's typewriter in the "New On Shelf" Section. I had never heard of one and searched ebay and found this calendar medal for sale. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1895-CALENDAR-MEDAL-THE-NORTHS-ENGLANDS-TYPE-WRITER-53-QUEEN-VICTORIA-ST/233120396275?hash=item36470ef3f3:g:B2QAAOSw~5dcMc3H

A 1911 Erika #1 folding typewriter? It looks pretty clean. I think the holes in the giant folding hinges were only on the early ones. Maybe they're to cut down on weight? I wonder why they changed it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/MAQUINA-DE-ESCRIBIR-ERIKA-N-1-ANO-1911-PLEGABLE-TYPEWRITER-SCHREIBMASCHINE/163722929242?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Dc99f71f4c87f4537aae6ff585b2112c6%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D192956256396%26itm%3D163722929242&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A7a1f8c0f-92e3-11e9-8013-74dbd1802e2b%7Cparentrq%3A71e797b516b0abc0d9e98b21ffbf7758%7Ciid%3A1

Hi, I'm curious as to the dimensions and weight of the Corona 3 typewriter and the Erika (or Bijou) folding typewriter. Robert Messenger has great pictures of them next to each other but it's hard to tell the proportions. https://oztypewriter.blogspot.com/2011/04/perkeo-and-other-folding-portable.html

An early (1910?) Corona 3 folding typewriter, with "Standard Folding Typewriter" in parentheses. Not the greatest shape but no bids yet on $69.95 +$12.60 shipping ending in 1 day (Sunday the 16th). The kicker? It's being sold from Groton, NY where it was originally built. If you're looking for a well-travelled typewriter, this is probablly not the one! https://www.ebay.com/itm/ANTIQUE-1910-CORONA-FOLDING-TYPEWRITER-3-GROTON-NY-RARE-COLLECTIBLE/223546678220?hash=item340c6b9bcc:g:Y6EAAOSw3Rdc~ajy

An 1930's Yiddish typewriter made by the Barr-Morse Corporation. (Owned by John H. Barr, who played the "lead role in the revolutionary design for the first Remington portable typewriter." (See Robert Messenger's webpage https://oztypewriter.blogspot.com/2011/05/john-hbarr-and-remington-portable.html ))

A nice 1932 Triumph with Fraktur Typeface. I've never seen the back of one so I was surprised to see the "yellow plexiglass insert on the back which gives the inside of the machine a beautiful glow when the sun is shining." All in all, a good reason to buy a lottery ticket.
