There's certainly something about that sound!
~Does anyone remember?
The rhythm of the taps & 'ting' of an old typewriter...
The springy keys beneath one's fingers &
the smell of the carbon ink ribbon!
I miss the sound...sure brought some fond
memories of my late grandparents~
Here are some vintage Ad campaign from the past...
...So Charming~

I wanna watch an episode of "Mad Men" now from this post. hehe. Cute! I've never actually written on a type-writer. Hmmm..I might have to put that on my a To-Do list.
Love these! So cute! My favorite is probably the last one, so colorful ;)
I remember type class in HS ! I sucked still do I always have to look. My techi teen is so fast can type in the dark.
asdf ... jkl;. love these ads and the typewriters they have on mad men.
Cathie is so rockin' that green typewriter! I adore these, Lenore! We own a few vintage typewriters, and they are among my favorite possessions. Man, typing back in the day really gave you a workout! xoxo Gigi
Believe it or not, I still have a friend who types me long letters, and every week, I race to the mailbox in hopes of finding an envelope filled with typewriter font enclosed words! So nostalgic - the typewriter and reading a personal letter on paper!
i looove that about a typewriter.
well, the ads are still working on me b/c i want them all!
Fantastic! I love this ad campaign -- I'm so glad you found it and decided to share. The rhymes are so cute! I sometimes do a little typewriter ding as I work on my computer. My boyfriend makes fun of me because I used a typewriter when I was younger (until about fourth grade I think).
ahhh, i do love that sound! but i've never personally had one of my own.. neither has my family! :(
Hello Lee-lee, I'm back!
I would so love to have one of these vintage typewriters to type out my poems a la Plath.
I never took typing in school, but with all the keyboarding I do now, I'm a veritable kitten on the keys!
How I would love to shoot for such an ad campaign! Hope you're well, and had a terrific Thanksgiving... -R
love the adds!
I've learned to type on those things! with the noise and ping and all!
loves
hese pics reminds me the secretaries in "MAd Men".....
Could those ads BE any cuter?
Those are adorable pictures!!!
I miss the sound too!! such lovely memories! ;)
Yep, used to use one in my very first job.
Hurray! Hurray ! Hurray !
Three cheers for the ads.
So sweet. These are a trip. I love the sound of those keys.
Everyone should have one of these - just in case we run out of electricity. Does anyone remember all those layers of different coloured copy paper? Painfully laborious, though curiously pretty...
Yeah, i remember too. I've learned typing from a Maryknoll sister at school. ffjjffjjffjjddkk------ :)
I should have kept my first Olivetti.
The nice thing about typing class when I took it was that the computer keys were quiet so you could cheat on the daily quiz :0
Thank you everyone for sharing some wonderful memoriesss...~Ting!
Mel,
Wow!...you have such an interesting friend! Hope you keep all the letters~
Homemaker Man, you are too funny...good thing you weren't expelled~
Aw the people in the ads look so scholarly.. I think I would love to have a type writer if we didn't have computers! I always wonder where you find such awesome pics to share with us :)
Even my electric Smith Corona, bought for college in the 1970s, still *dings!*
I prefer my computer keyboard to have a special sound. If it doesn't sound right, a specific click, I don't like to type on it.
I looove these images! I think it'd be fun to have an old typewriter.
My mom had one of those. She was always taking college classes so I remember the sound very well.
These are very cute little poems and ads. I love the old ads so much more than the flashiness and almost naked-ness of the ads these days. I love the feeling of typing on a typerwriter, i'd love to get one.
I used to love typing on the old manual typewriter. Of course, we never had such a marvelous choice of colors.
Gorgeous find!! So Mad Men-esque!! Love it!!
love love love!
love this! i have the one that millie has! :)
I have a few typewriters in my home for decoration and I'm so tempted to tap away! :)
Reminds me of my first job at a Church Rectory typing up certificates of marriage, baptisms and confirmations... such stress!! Mistakes were a big deal :)
