I really am such a nerd for antiquity -- when my great aunt died I inherited a typewriter -- fully functional and I changed the ribbon to play with it years ago and had it stowed away. Got that bad boy out and been playing with it-- still works like a charm! Have the case, original paperwork and everything. I understand why people collect these things, they're pretty dang awesome. This specific typewriter is a 1967 model of the Webster XL-500 series by Brother. I will have to find some use for it, somewhere. (Fun fact, the original warranty says it was delivered 12-25/67, so maybe it was a Christmas present?) -- Anyway, I know this isn't really the place to gush about stuff like this , but do you guys collect things or have fond affiliations to things in days gone by, or even things like hobbies? My grandpa was a huge coin collector.

My granny actually still has a Royal typewriter she got as a wedding gift (or a graduation gift?) in the 1950s.
