Generally I might agree with this, but what do I do with the other 20+ typewriters?!

Given the damage and mess of the soot and ash in our house, I'm really glad that I only had two typewriters out for display on January 7th. To give you an idea, here's a post-fire photo of the 1941 Corona Standard that I had finished cleaning and polishing in late December. You can see the level of soot where I wiped off a portion of the hood. I can only imagine if I'd had 24 of them out for "display"!
