don says this is not hearty enough, which gives me a stellar excuse to take more photos

I’ve had these typewriter keys for maybe 14 years. I pried them off a rusty and broken machine found in council clean-up.

I was all set to donate these to the bower along with the other letters, but couldn’t bring myself to once I’d started mucking about with them. That Q, the J, the 3/4! Such a wonderful typeface.

Sadly, the Y has gone on an adventure at some point in those years. I hope it is having an Ace! time wherever it might be.

I’ll take some more photos and consider my options – while delightful, I really only look at them every few years.
