FS: Obsolete Metal Spools - New/Old Stock
It may be worth mentioning that I have a range of normally unobtainable metal spools for sale on my website : I was able to buy the last remaining stocks from the family of a long-defunct ribbon manufacturer some time ago. Quantities vary from just a few to several hundred according to type. For those of you that also collect adding machines, some of the spools are intended for these too. I certainly have some Burroughs spools in stock, and many others that are presently unidentified. I also sell ribbon fabric in unusual widths, even the very narrow kind used in 'Petite' toy typewriters. Worldwide shipping is not a problem - I accept PayPal payments !

Hey Typewriterman.
Happen to have any ribbon thats like 6/16 of an inch (around 8 mm I think?), and have any 1 1/2 inch ribbon (Its like the size of 3 standard sized ribbons all put together)?

Oops, sorry, you just said spools. But do you have any ribbon in those or around those sizes?

Yes, I have 8mm black ribbon fabric - this is about 5/16". The nearest to 1 1/2" that I can do is 1". I'm guessing that you want it for a Remingon 'blind writer' ? A couple of customers have used 1" fabric for these and I have been told that it works, even though the size should really be 1 3/8".

The 1 1/2 is for my Smith Premier, and it needs around that because it slides diagonally.
The 8mm is for my Bennett, although I have to go check quick the actual measurement. It can be a little bigger or smaller..

The 8mm SHOULD work. That would be the smallest I could go, it has to be from 8mm to 10mm.
How much? I dont need the whole standard length either, because the Bennett only needs a few yards.
