What's your assessment of the colour? I did have one but gave it to Terry Cooksley to sell in exchange for some typewriter servicing work.<br />Yes, Bill, I agree: it always surprised me that such colours were used on 1920s machines; other duo-tones use shades of primary colours.Robert Messengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366507489948676594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-15810539629769218422012-01-29T06:09:36.014+11:002012-01-29T06:09:36.014+11:00Partial translation, using my limited Japanese and...Partial translation, using my limited Japanese and my kanji dictionary. There are basically three words or phrase on the paper table, separated by the symbol that kind of resembles an "at" sign (the 7th and 13th characters).<br /><br />The third word is easy, it just says "typewriter".<br /><br />The first word is potentially a model name, it roughly translates to very/extreme 21...I could be wrong on the 21, but there is definitely the sense of very/extreme.<br /><br />The second phrase has components of "small" and "color" in there. I couldn't make out the other symbol (the 11th one). It might be referring to it as light purple, but that is just my best guess.<br /><br />There's nothing obscene about the writing. My best guess is it is something like "Extreme 21 Light Purple Typewriter", so probably not as mysterious as you'd have liked.deekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140131381076720375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-82123475937614552222012-01-28T22:49:15.782+11:002012-01-28T22:49:15.782+11:00Very nice.

Purple typewriters with a purple ribbon would make the perfect typewriter for Barney the purple dinosaur.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-65527162598660224572012-01-28T20:05:48.443+11:002012-01-28T20:05:48.443+11:00Help help I see purple all around!
