While I was working in Jasper, Alabama today, the bossman and I needed a 10 ft. USB cable..
So we went to Wal- Mart and they didn't have one.
Then we drove around looking for the(only local) office supply store.... We finally find it, and go inside...
As I was looking around the store, I came across this ...........
A 1895 Remington Standard No. 6 Typewriter..
It looked so cool up on the shelf, so I had to take a picture of it... And plus, I love antiques..
So here ya go... LOL...
George B. Webb was a mechanist for Remington, and had made several improvements on this typewriter vs. the previous models.
Improvements such as, spacing, adjustable paper guides, and paper carriage.
In 1892, these typewriters were manufactured under the name, Remington Standard Typewriter Company.
Not a lot of history on these typewriters, from what I could find... Sorry
Just look at the technology from back then to now!! From a typewriter, to a keyboard on your desktop computer or laptop..
Technology has come a long way... Very impressive!!!
I thought that this was cool, so I wanted to share this with you all..
Oh,,, and by the way, we did not find a 10 ft. USB cable... LOL;-)
We will have to pick one up, when we go back through Birmingham, AL.
I Hope That You All Enjoyed...
Thanks For Viewing!!!
This is so unprecedented from you again, I really do admire your strength and hard work boss..
Hey, I appreciate that... This means a lot. Thanks for the reply!!

Grettings from Venezuela :)
Hello Ms. Venezuela... Does that typewriter still write??
I don't have idea, but probabbly yes 🤗
I learned to type on a mechanical typewriter in high school. I wanted to meet girls, but I learned to type instead, just in case I might need it someday. I did.
I not only learned type on a keyboard with zero power assist, I learned to pound those keys hard. As a result, most of the keyboards I've used have disappearing letters like A, S, C, X, V and N. If there is a control key shortcut attached to the letter, I nailed it, over and over again.
I also whack the space bar pretty good, too. I'm better now, but with enthusiasm comes force.
Thanks for sparking those memories with that picture.
LOL... Ha, I was the same way.. pounding them keys.. I usually made a scene in class, just for the fun of it..
Wasn't that good in class, but it paid off... Thanks for the reply..
is this a classic typist?
Great photo and I like your photo !!
Thanks...

Thanks a lot..
This is pretty cool. I love antiques too
Thanks... I couldn't pass up the opportunity... So, I made the best of the situation..
Wow... It's a privilege to know how a typewriter in those days really looks like. History is just an interesting course to study because it has so many interesting facts that needs to be known by all. Anyways, it was nice of you sharing this with us all.
Yeah, you are absolutely correct about history... It was my favorite subject in school.. And we must know, where some things originate from, IMO.... My pleasure sharing this, with you all... That's what we are all here for, right?? Sharing our interests!!! Thanks for the reply..
