The old curio cabinet sitting in my home contains a variety of small items for display purposes only. Among these items are a number of die-cast metal cars, some of which have been with me since my youth. One car in particular always stands out in my mind, colored bright green and nearly as old as […]

The old cook laboring away in the kitchen was barely able to stand on his own. Now hacking up a lung, he immediately grabbed for the towel rack mounted on the wall in order to remain upright — a move that would be repeated numerous times throughout our visit. After the coughing stopped, the old

Overbuilt, overengineered, and curvaceous. Those are the words that I would use to sum up the Voss ST24, a portable typewriter made in Germany. The example that I own was made in 1955.

More than likely my typewriter buying days are now behind me. It has been more than a year since my last typewriter purchase. (More to come on that in a future blog post here on The Typewritemosphere. ) I am okay with this as it largely happened by design in my case. As a typewriter enthusiast living in

I am often quick to point out that one of the best things about typewriters is the typewriter community itself. I say this for a number of reasons. One of which is that typewriter folks tend to have a number of shared interests. This often leads to a lot of great conversations, and when you’re

Here in the recent past I couldn’t help but notice that a number of my fellow typecasters have returned to their respective blogs after much time away. They are effectively doing their part to ensure that the typosphere continues on, as it should be. In turn, they have inspired me to finally return to my
