My Desk Runneth Over!

OK, I'm helpless when it comes to picking up nifty stuff like a brass & marble stamp roll holder.

And a brass ink blotter...

...And a brass reciept spike.

The ol' Parker-61 desk set is complete.  Ready to sign off on typewritten letters & get them into the mailbox!

Now I just need a bigger desk. 




Happy typing!

Brian

Nice touch with the 6 cent stamps!  I can't remember when those would have been current -- circa 1970 perhaps?

My mom probably has a calendar like that somewhere in her house.  Or she used to.  Just another thing for me to look for at some point.


Smith Premier typewriters are cool!

Thanks.  They were still in the holder, so who knows about its age.  Pretty good guess though.  (Stamp collector?) According to a USPS, they were introduced in 1968.

Yeah, took a few years.  Snagged the desk set many moons ago.  Found calendar at local estate sale a couple of years back.  Was looking for onion skin paper & ran across brass set that kind of rounded it all out. 

My stylin' fishtail pen is happy.
