| Here is my cream color Voss Sad Face, missing ribbon cover. Serial # 179526 |
 |
| My complete Voss machines. The greenish-taupe one of the left ( serial # 137278) is from Nick Beland from about a couple years ago right before he moved to Seattle, if I remember right. The burgundy one in the middle is another gullwing Voss, serial # 140018. The last on the right has serial # 164832. |

| The 3 lined up, they all work |

| Another pic since I felt bad that the one without a ribbon cover was left out of the group shot |
I sense the return of an obsession ....
ReplyDeleteYep, all the Vosses with removable single-piece ribbon covers are "sad face" machines.
I've missed being around and I've missed a lot! It's going to be hours and hours on end catching up on people's blogs. Apologies in advance if I end up commenting on a post from last year hahaha.
ReplyDeleteAs for the happy face gullwing version... interesting tangent. Back when we were engaged, the wifey asked me what I wanted as a wedding gift. I couldn't think of anything and months passed and one day I told her, id like a Mercedes Gullwing. I liked the way they looked and I figured since it was from the late 50s, we could probably find one for an affordable price. I researched it a couple days later and yeah, those things are like $1 million. hahaha
Look who's making a comeback. It's about time. (:
ReplyDeleteVery nice Voss family. I've test-typed Richard's, quite a solid typer. Brawny. My dream Voss is a Privat, good luck with that.
Ton I like the Privat too... haven't come across one yet. Hopefully one of these days we both will have one.
DeleteWelcome back, and you've been upgraded to Typewriter Hunter at the Database. (:
ReplyDeleteNice brace of Vossen, muy envioso.
What's even more awesome is that I remember that I got each of them for pretty good prices. I'll have to double check and hopefully share those numbers soon
DeleteI find that Script typeface very readable. I especially like the burgundy and green Voss. :)
ReplyDeleteSteve - This is actually my very first typecast using script. I'm quite pleased with its legibility. I think I've quite maybe half a dozen script machines so hopefully ill be able to showcase those others soon.
DeleteI like that Burgundy one too but I have to admit, I've a weakness for Voss so it could be booger black or gangrene rot and I'd think its magnificent.
