About a year ago I brought my Smith-Corona Classic 12 to my friend's house, and since then her son -- my god-son -- has been asking me to bring more typewriters from my collection so that he can play with them. Tomorrow is his 7th birthday, and I'll be presenting him with his very own Royal Dart.4yr ⋅ ChaunceyVlandingham ⋅ r/typewriters
