I'm old enough too ! I remember typing out my very first job application on one of these. I would've been around 13 and made so many mistakes ! I'm old enough to use white out too ! :) My recent post Surf’s Up, Dude…
My Nana used to let us use her old typewriter when I was a child. I remember her teaching us to make a row of birds on a fence (can't remember what letters we used to do that though!). My recent post Do you know what your tea-towel has been doing today?
Great photos! What a gorgeous old typewriter. I was just thinking about them the other day, and how much I used to love Typing lessons at high school. The teacher would play music (on the tape recorder!) and we would all type along in time. Loved it!
I havent used one but I have seen them. Amazing how far we have come since the basic typewriters! I still have no idea how to use my new phone (got it yesterday!) nor how to use an ipad :) Yet my kids are up to date with the latest computers etc. Bring back the days when life was that simple!

Oh, Trish, it's gorgeous! I've used newer type writers and at Christmas got my first vintage as I plan on collecting them. My recent post Wordless Wednesday: Grasshopper
My father has one just like this! He took it into Hannah's class last year when they were looking at "then and now". Most of the kids had no idea what it was. Don't things change quickly! My recent post {Wordless Wednesday} Water Bead Play
Hi trish, technology moves so fast these days doesn't it? Thanks for hosting WW. I haven't had time to blog for so long. I still don't really have time, but I feel a bit disjointed at the moment, and joining in with WW is nice and comforting. Thank you. S. xx My recent post Wordless Wednesday - Baking
I learned to type old school style when I was 13. I don't think the typewriters were quite as old and beautiful as this one, but a far cry from the iPad I'm typing on now! My recent post What’s holding you back?
Love! I'm a vintage objectophile from way back. Anything like this, especially to do with signs, printing or communications, I love. I've got myself a nice heavy bakelite, shiny black rotary-dial telephone. One day- one day I'll get myself one of these too.
Love it! Me too. I had typing lessons in high school and had to submit uni work typed. I did a school tour yesterday for my 4 year old to attend and seeing the pcs in the prep class rooms brought home the changes! My recent post Chocolate Easter Gifts
My Mum was a secretary once upon a time, so we had a few of these round the house growing up... I remember asking her to use her ninja-fast typing skills to type my essays and having to initially instruct her how to use the enter and delete buttons! How things change... My recent post (Almost) Wordless Wednesday - A Toddler Lives Here
Yes, we had one of those! It's great, Trish. Love the pics. Nice juxtaposition of the old and the new.
Last typewriter I used was made in 1989 and I bought it just after I finished uni. It was a Brother and it was LOUD. That is also a standout memory of learning to type at school ... the din in the typing room, especially when it was time to carriage return.
When I took a secretarial course in 1991, we were still learning on typewriters although electronic by that time. Hard to believe now.
I think we're about the same age but I only remember using an old electric typewriter. I'm old enough to use the old MS DOS pre-GUI interface. I'm not sure I'd remember how anymore though. My recent post Wordless Wednesday – Remnants of Summer
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending how you look at it), I am also old enough to have used a typewriter. What a great memory :) My recent post I'm a Soccer Mum
