This Underwood had a stereo pic jammed between the platen and the ribbon lifter… Not sure if it was a prop or just not priced yet.
This was at the DeKalb Market, a beautiful, doomed little food and shopping district made of shipping containers. A developer let them use the space, but now has a project and so the pie shops, crafters and vintage joints must be gone by the end of September.
How crazy would it be to have a Type-In there (they have a great little picnic space around the back) before the end?

Sadly , this machine is a “Rapunzel” ; trapped in a home decor shop in Avalon’s posher neighbor, Stone Harbor.
Perhaps someday, she could weave her ribbon into a rope, allowing an admirer to climb over the transom and, inky- fingered, declare, “Yon lifeboat is but a toy– not thee. You were meant to put words upon alabaster sheets, giving substance to my silent whims… Let me lift thee ( oof-dah, she’s a heavy one!) and carry you to my writing shack”
Next morning, the puzzled owner of Shore de’Couer would scratch her head , wondering what had been there and left those four little square dents on the panel of the show window. Finally, she will give up and put a Taiwan- made replica of a milk can to fill the spot.
