I am searching for old, office-style typing paper, vintage 1930s or early 1940s, to buy. Lower quality, off-white paper, which might have been used for drafts (not the sturdy, white, professional stationary used for letters, official documents, etc.). 1930s or 1940s era paper now typically has the off-white or tan tint. (Not the yellow paper with a texture of old comic books that was used for carbon copies). It looks like this is something you might have already come across in your travels through old stores I am working on a special project with historic roots and I want it to be as authentic as possible. I recently found a 1931 Underwood in excellent working condition. Now I need the paper to work with. Can any of you help? Many, many thanks! Patricia floridawriter@hotmail.com Hello, PauvrePlume!

I'm glad you enjoyed the images and drooled as much as I did. :) Oddly, I had to take my car into a garage to get fixed yesterday (poor car), and I decided to walk around the neighborhood as I waited. I turned the corner, and the first little shop I saw was a typewriter shop! They had all of these amazingly beautiful vintage typewriters adorning the windows, and I almost passed out!!! I had never seen a shop devoted strictly to typewriters before. I was very impressed. And sad I couldn't afford one. @Juddie: Thank you SO MUCH for that link to your post...that is INCREDIBLE! :) Thanks, you three!

I adore vintage typewriters! These photos are lovely. Recently G and I found a vintage Thai typewriter in a local antique shop - so wonderful with the beautiful Thai characters instead of Roman letters on the keys.... Oh by the way, I was browsing through some old posts on my blog and remembered this one ...
