I'm happy to have known them, and will miss them...but I suppose there's a certain peace in paring down to just a few that are more used than the many would have been. I still have a few more I should probably let go, for that matter. Stinky, for example, if I could find the perfect match for him.<br /><br />Good homes for all the outgoing typers, I think. The two Hermes typewriters went to a man with two beautiful well-cared-for old Coronas (and a Siamese cat and a banjo, so they should be right at home. ;-), and Bernard the SG-3 went to a local collector / typewriter lover, so he too will be taken care of. I also got a new typewriter in exchange for Bernard (more on that later)...so I'm really only down two at the moment, but the replacement has, shall we say, a slightly smaller footprint.<br /><br />One of these days I'll get around to making a real post.Elizabeth H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09161162407130146871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36092055.post-62819501542473000042010-02-21T18:33:19.932-08:002010-02-21T18:33:19.932-08:00Sigh...yet another reason I lament not living in t...Sigh...yet another reason I lament not living in the Pacific Northwest.Mike Speeglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648532407369443335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36092055.post-59045672661835929062010-02-21T07:51:46.626-08:002010-02-21T07:51:46.626-08:00The Hermes is beautiful!!

I wonder if there's any chance Cambridge Typewriters gets in SG-3s now and again? Might be worth checking with them!<br /><br />It's the typeface that makes this a particularly hard decision. It is, as has been stated previously, the coolest typeface evar. If it was exactly the same as the SG-1, I wouldn't be *as* broken up about letting it go, despite the memories. The SG-1 has, subjectively speaking anyway, a nicer feel to it. But ooh, that typeface!<br /><br />There's someone out in the typosphere (can't remember who!) who has an SG-1 with Senatorial type.

No bites so far.<br /><br />Yeah, I think I could live quite happily with "just" an SG-1...but Bernard is special. I'm hoping he does sell, but to someone who really appreciates him.Elizabeth H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09161162407130146871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36092055.post-53037466937628438722010-02-15T18:46:18.106-08:002010-02-15T18:46:18.106-08:00So sad...
