| I picked up this hitch hiker earlier today |
 |
| It contained some neat keys |
 |
| Which is better -- this one with fill flash? |
 |
| Or this one -- no flash? |
I found another oddity on/in the database. A carry-over from Dirk's original.
There is not a Signet Sr. listed. Signet Jr, which I am guessing is what this one is incorrectly called and Signet which would be the incorrect name for the Sr.
I found where I noted the difference when I got my first Signet a few years ago.
This one is only a bit newer by the serial number but feeds paper better. I think somewhere in its life the platen was recovered since today I did not realize until I went to remove my typecast that I had not closed the paper feed. Platen is not real hard either although I would like to send it of to J.J. Short.
Yeah, all the Royal data is from Secondary Sources, and I have only a few more to work with than Dirk did. There is a Primary (direct from factory) source in existence, but we just don't have it in hand (as of yet anyway).
ReplyDeleteNice Signet, congratulations!

ReplyDeleteThe first one must be one of my favorites, a Hammond Folding Multiplex! I would recognize those keytops and that case anywhere!
ReplyDeleteOh nice. And in the perfect hands for it too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty Bill.. I think it looks better in the shot using the fill light, the typ is easier to read.. Love the colour!
