Two things I did not buy from an antique store in Castle Rock, Washington.
- A piece of French sheet music that included an add for ukulele lessons. “Learn in 10 minutes thanks to the Francis Salabert Method!”
- A Blickendorfer typewriter, with carrying case, from the late 1800s.
I regret leaving both of those things behind.
I would love to have that typewriter. If it worked, what a great way to write rough drafts and brainstorms for really long articles!
How far is Castle Rock from you? I don’t see this as a problem. You are a traveler, no? Backtrack! Hurry. Before I snatch them up, especially that typewriter!
You were destined to own that sheet music…especially given the fact that you were just in France! Two great finds, for sure.
I left so much behind in Buenos Aires, including a large collection of vintage tin robots, never to be found anywhere again 🙁
Old typewriters are so beautiful! I just saw a whole collection of them in Iceland. What an amazing thing to own, though they are quite bulky.
