It looks like it would be a lot of fun.<br /><br />They're all very cool, but I must admit I have a fondness for dragons, so I really like your year of the dragon stamp, and my husband pointed out the rabbit stamp, and then with quick succession, the cat! He has a particular fondness for cats. And I'm impressed with the size of the one for the Type-In; did it take long to carve?<br /><br />Thank you for the link! I was completely unaware of this hobby, but it sounds like a riotously good time. I may have to see if there are letterboxers in my area; I certainly know of some good spots to plant one!

So this machine has seen a lot of use over its lifespan. He tried typing in different manners; still, it skips. So it'll probably become a project to fix that gear soon.A.R.M.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11647457788080424015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130418293737366087.post-86862193162301620642012-09-16T10:03:56.455-07:002012-09-16T10:03:56.455-07:00I carved all of them at different times.

Glad you like them!<br />Team Catnip is my letterboxing trail name. the ones with years are for Lunar New Year, and the big one was carved at the event, which is a letterboxing tradition of event stamp carving. here's a link to read more:<br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letterboxing_%28hobby%29notagainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02915679111849352765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130418293737366087.post-31479799590701271202012-09-16T08:12:38.934-07:002012-09-16T08:12:38.934-07:00I am having all kinds of rotten luck with the capc...I am having all kinds of rotten luck with the capcha lately... <br /><br />I was TRYING to say I love these Aristocrats and basically my favorite typewriter is pretty much exactly like yours but it doesn't skip and I wonder if there might hopefully be a solution easier than replacing the escapement gear to fix it. sometimes I find that how I type changes how often it skips and I can train myself to be skip free on some pretty worn out typers.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407133004841846661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6130418293737366087.post-61208586331693179282012-09-16T08:10:22.085-07:002012-09-16T08:10:22.085-07:00I LOVE those Aristocrats.
