Tonight it’s a double pairing: first it’s the 1955 Royal HHE typewriter and an Isle of Skye 18 year old Scotch whisky and an almost perfect pairing of the Royal HH with my new (to me) brown vintage (1940s?) desk lamp with art deco styling.

@chrisaldrich I’m pretty sure we had the typewriter with the green keys in my college newspaper. A sweet machine! It used to walk across the desk when I typed fast, and then I’d get up every couple of paragraphs and drag it back over.
@MitchW Mine walks a bit, but not very far or fast because it weighs 35 pounds. Incidentally, the Royal HH was used by Fletch in the eponymous movie and Woodward & Bernstein in All the Kings Men.
@chrisaldrich I may be thinking of another typewriter. I thought I recognized those keys though. Is yours manual or electric?
@MitchW This one is 100% manual driven. They did make some smaller portable versions which looked somewhat similar and had green keys.
@chrisaldrich I think the portables are are the ones I used in college.
