Mike Clemens posted a link to this over at clickthing, great find. Spot the Hermes Rockets, and that's no gold-plated Royal on Fleming's desk!

I did exactly thst, in fact. Also played spot-the-Olympia. Ah, typewriter nerd-dom. What would I do without you?
ReplyDeleteno small amount of Remingtons and Smith Corona that were likely the color we all love to hate on: baby-poop brown!
ReplyDeleteI guess if anyone could get away with a gold-plated Royal, perhaps Ian Fleming could. I like Langston Hughes' machine - do you know what it is? I would also like to know what Marlon Brando uses.
ReplyDelete@John: Langston Hughes' machine is a Remington Portable. Note the pop-up type bars. Masses of variants, see Richard Polt for extensive list!
