A follow-up on a mission of Mike Clemens' about extinct and extant typewriter dealers and repair shops.
Bryan S Ryan, that's what the silver label on the paper table of my 1933 black Underwod Portable reads. Some Googling and an e-mail later, the mystery is uncovered. Present director of Bryan S Ryan is Adrienne Prendergast who replied:
Hi Rob,
Bryan S Ryan was established in 1948. However, we would have been a major supplier of Typewriters and Service in those years and it is likely that this is a service sticker that we placed on it.
There might be more follow-up from her colleague of long standing at some time, but for now, Mike can put Dublin on the map!
Yay, an old shop that's still alive! :D
