Tower Constellation--New Photos and Ads

The key to photographing a typewriter with as many white parts as the Tower Constellation is to use the "snow" mode  on a digital camera, if equipped with one. Also, photograph it on a dark background.
 The vinyl-covered metal carrying case. Notice the bright chrome trim. When I bought it, I thought that the trim was dull aluminum. (Nick Bodemer Collection)
