Wordless Wednesday is a photo of the Corona #3 typewriter Ernest Hemingway received as a gift 100 years ago on July 21, 1921, his 22nd birthday. What masterpieces might still be locked within?

It looks like art now, this machine, certainly a valuable antique, especially since it was Hemingway’s. We’ve come a long way and things are still evolving…

You are right. The evolution never ends. In 100 years our cell phones will be in museums.

I love the look of these old typewriters. It’s hard to imagine that this is what people used back in the day before computers!

They say this was one of the first portable typewriters, really advanced for its time. I wonder what people will think of our keyboards in 100 years.

Me too, Jim. I should start with The Old Man and the Sea.

that’s a beautiful typewriter once owned by earnest Hemmingway. Wow! He was an author with talent from God above. I have to rest my legs now and get some sleep. I’ve done a bit too much today and my legs and shoulder hurt so. I have to compliment you on a prize photo of Hemmingway’s typewriter. God bless you, Sir!

Hemingway loved this machine. I prefer my laptop keyboard. But who knows, if I sat down at that old Corona, maybe inspiration strikes.

Finca Vigia is definitely worth a short side trip from Havana.
