Yesterday was my birthday- details of the fabulous day will follow in a day or two- and this is what Bryan gave me: a fully-functioning L.C Smith & Corona Standard typewriter made in 1932. It is lovely, as you can see, and types beautifully...



And fits, quite conveniently...



Into this dandy little travel case. And a mere 18 lbs at that! Needless to say, I am thrilled.
