Another in the Typosphere

A vintage stapler goes well with a vintage typewriter. Most of the time there are related office tools, whether they be staplers, blotters, punches, stamps, fountain pens... what have you. They help set the stage and adds more to the aesthetic and experience of using one of these machines. This Underwood is from 1924, though the stapler is c. 1935.

A 3rd generation H3K with cassettes strewn about. This one is from '71, and you'll eventually see it here on the blog. It's cursive, no less. But it's items like this and the cassettes shown that go in an office of that period. There's a Philips EL3302 kicking around somewhere for dictation, should the need ever arise.

A Remie Scout, with appropriate camera. The Ansco Shur-Flash there does work, just like the little Scout. Both were as equally pared down. There is enough to function, but nothing more. Simplicity, but quality, a low price point achieved by using less parts, not by cheapening all of the parts.
