Re: Recent Acquisitions Thread
Nice machine! I've been updating my collection over on the TWDB site. I thought I had most of them up there. Wrong! At least I'm down to only having one at the shop. I'm planning to clean my recent acquisitions myself.
Smith Premier typewriters are cool!

Great find! I have an older Hermes Baby (round keys, no ribbon selector) but am actively searching for one similar to yours. The script font is really nice as well.

Re: Recent Acquisitions Thread
I didn't know you could look at people's collections over at TWDB
have to check it out The most surprising thing for me is that this particular one was clearly never mishandled, you can just tell it sort of sat unused for decades. the action is incredibly light, and I find it to be a very very fast Typer, at least compared to the few other machines that I have around.

Re: Recent Acquisitions Thread
A newer Baby, with script typeface! Great find, and in very good shape. Just by looking at it, one can assume it´s far more advanced and reliable than the earlier versions. I have a 1936 Baby, and I bet yours types infinitely better. And I know I´ve said it, but beautiful typeface.
As for the TWDB, that´s where I started. Tons of knowledge there, and stunning collections as well. But the biggest one is the DB itself. It´s a great source for basically everything!
