Last weekend I bought a typewriter (a 1950s Royal Quiet De Luxe). I had some fun taking pictures of it as an homage to the "Mad Men" episode "The Rejected." In this episode Don Draper starts to type a letter to his secretary, Alison. He writes, "My life right now is very --" The watcher is left to fill in the blank. In my picture, the hammer is on it's way up to finish the sentence.
BTW, I can't remember, but I think the typewriter in the show was actually an electric model.
