Aging Gracefully.

This particular model was born in 1942. My late grandfather bought it when he went to graduate school in the US in 1947-48. Whole bunch of people since then have done two finger typing on it. 

For the last several years in has been in the loft in our house.

Today's computer n laptop keyboards may have fading letters but this particular one is still going strong close to 65 years n counting.....
