I really do enjoy reading your blog and I was shocked to find out that you were one of the previous owners of the C.R. Wedler Goldfinger typewriter. Currently this typewriter is in Singapore.

I am not a collector but I have wanted to have the plating redone on it just so I could display it. I have the one that is exactly like the one that Ian Fleming had. Has anyone ever had one replated? Looks like I might be able to remove it all to be replated. By the way, I do have a 1953 letter on Royal Typewriter letterhead that is "typed" answering a question about getting one of these typewriters with a different font. I guess my Dad was able to get it with an Italic font since that is what he has. I may have the only one like that. If anyone is interested in a copy of the letter just ask and I will email you a high resolution file to print.

Congratulations on #500. <br /><br />I have a friend who lives a bit south of me who would love machine 007, (even though he is not a typosphereian) James Bond. Yes this is a real person who is about 10 years older than me. He is a Laser Engineer. I worked with him since the 1980s and his real name is what I stated he was born before any of the movies were released. When we first met I asked him if he owned the trademark and got royalties.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-10360468204317956822012-02-18T19:49:17.895+11:002012-02-18T19:49:17.895+11:00As a life-long Bond fan, I never get sick of seein...As a life-long Bond fan, I never get sick of seeing pictures of these gold-plated Royals.

As it is I spend a day researching and the only comments relate to whether the guy is dead in the picture! By the way.
