While I was cleaning up this Remington Noiseless portable for
today’s typewriter presentation, I came across what I at first took to be a bit
of foliage or piece of cloth buried inside the workings of the machine. Nothing
unusual in that. I brushed it out and only some time later looked more closely
at it - and realised it was a typed slip of paper. “Do you love me or Jeff” was
the plaintive cry of the guy who once owned this lovely machine. “No” the
future Mrs Typewriter Guy seems to have written on it in pencil. I’m taking it
to mean she didn’t love Jeff, just the Typewriter Guy. Lovers of typewriters,
after all, make the best lovers. What’s your interpretation?
