Have you considered painting a Nakajima-ALL typewriter in an Art Deco style? In the US, eBay sellers misuse the phrase "Art Deco" as much, if not more than the word "Funky."Nick Bodemerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12298328355143940707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-49625026992232656662012-08-21T03:09:57.141+10:002012-08-21T03:09:57.141+10:00Great job on the Funky typewriter and the ad is wo...Great job on the Funky typewriter and the ad is wonderfully sarcastic -- the only thing mi$$ing are dollar $ign$ in$stead of S's!Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11633967390492270136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-22249321524730129692012-08-20T23:40:16.059+10:002012-08-20T23:40:16.059+10:00I'm with Richard.

And the machine... it burns the retinas like an H-bomb blast!<br /><br />As much as I admire your aversion to extreme profit taking, the buyer knows exactly what they are in for and it would actually work. That is quite the novelty for an ebay machine.Dwayne F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07032059161503386028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-69587101728313418882012-08-20T11:42:53.609+10:002012-08-20T11:42:53.609+10:00It's kind of horrible looking, good job!

I wish I could bid an offer for the machine, though that would mean sending it overseas to the other end of the Pacific... and no B-52s around to do the job! <br /><br />I can't wait to read about the reactions you get from the e-Bay regulars when you post this beauty there.
