Description
This antique typewriter was found in the Chatham Railroad Museum in Chatham, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Many young people may not even know what ths instrument was used for or how to use it. Some working writers still enjoy pounding the keys of old typewriters. They enjoy the rhythmic sound of the metal keys striking the paper and appreciate the irregularities of the lettering.
Chatham Railroad Station now houses a museum. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978. The museum features many railroad artifacts, including the New York Central model locomotives used at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Other displays include original and operating Western Union telegraph equipment, lanterns, badges, signs, tools, timetables, menus and passes, promotional literature, original paintings and prints, calendars, and a restored 1910 caboose, and, of course, spittoons.

Ah, yes, Brian, I had one myself. Fortunately electrics were starting to appear in time for my high school typing class. Thanks for the visit and comment.
