W...Very true..I imagine alot of folks jump the gun. When I was a kid, somehow we wound up with an old 30's model from a garage sale I used to "write" on (this was the early-eighties, so we didn't have any computers or word processors in the house) It was huge and eventually my mother threw it out, not knowing the value or that possibly it might have been salvageable (this was before ebay even). I guess, even if they are not really broken, I'd rather see part of them harvested to make something interesting and lovely than just being mere landfill fodder.kristy bowenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03831806047965186923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11262289.post-63748454821905123192009-08-23T20:56:15.869-07:002009-08-23T20:56:15.869-07:00Hi.

Y'know, I used to be of the philosophy that, ok, if the typewriter is truly inoperative, then lopping off the keys for jewelry is justifiable. But these days I've come to feel that typewriter key jewelry is wrong no matter whether the typewriter was operative or not.<br /><br />Let me explain: in my 20 years of collecting and repairing typewriters, I've learned that most typewriters that are passed off as "nonfunctional" are either simply dirty or need a very minor repair to return to full functionality.<br /><br />Even if a typewriter is beyond repair, chopping its keys only feeds the market and encourages less scrupulous keychoppers to destroy undamaged machines to meet the demand. It's the moral equivalent of selling elephant ivory jewelry but rationalizing it with, "It's ok, because the elephant was already dead when I found it."Olivanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13153890530685124767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11262289.post-70143279524654672692009-08-21T15:03:45.421-07:002009-08-21T15:03:45.421-07:00the pink one is like poet-candy. yum!the pink one is like poet-candy. yum!mdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16678218271885988491noreply@blogger.com
