- Description
- A mainly black paper cutter with a red wooden handle. On the viewer-right edge is a long, steel blade (often referred to as a knife), which is attached to the base at the top viewer-right corner with a hinge. At the other end of the knife unit is a red, wooden handle. The stationary viewer-right edge of the base is also steel, with an exposed, “deckled” edge (which produces a “torn edge” effect on the paper). When the knife is pulled down to cut the paper, the action resembles that of a pair of scissors, only instead of two knives moving against each other, the one on the base is stationary. There is a red plastic strip across the top and bottom edges of the paper cutter’s base. The strip across the top edge is a ruler and contains: “2 ½” “2” “1 ½” “1 inch” marked in gold paint. On the viewer-right edge of the paper cutter’s base, adjacent to the steel edge, is a clear plastic strip with a ruler marked in red paint. The paper slides under this plastic strip, past the steel edge, in order to be cut. On the bottom of the paper cutter is the text “MADE IN GERMANY” engraved in a circular orientation.

- Description
- The index typewriter consists of a circular, rotatable metal disk, which is mounted on a red metal component. The metal components of the typewriter which hold the paper in place and advance the cartridge forward are mounted on a rectangular wooden base, which is painted red. The cartridge is mounted along the back edge of the red wooden base. The various metal components of the typewriter are painted black, red, or green.The outer rim of the rotatable disk contains the “keys”, which are made of a soft rubber. When the key that is oriented at the top-center of the disk is pressed down, it produces that letter or character onto the paper. Also, when a button is pressed, a device pushes the cartridge forward one space, so that the next letter/character can be typed. Each button is labeled with a corresponding letter/character in black ink around the edge. The letters are all in capitals, and are not in alphabetical order. The letters appear on the disk in the following order: “C J P F U B L W T H E R O I A N D G S K Y M Q V X Z”. The characters labeled on the disk then proceed in following order: “, . - ? $ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 &”Underneath the rubber buttons, also following the curvature of the disk, reads: “GERMAN PATENT NO. XXXX” (X = the number is unreadable); “FRENCH PATENT NO. 269727”; “OTHER FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC PATENTS PENDING”; “UNITED STATES PATENT MARCH 21 1899(?)”; “BRITISH PATENT NO. 1XXX1” (X = the number is unreadable).The center of the disk is painted red, with a green circular boarder. The top of this area reads: “SPECIAL”. In the very center of this area reads: “Simplex TRADEMARK Typewriter” in white letters on a green banner. Underneath this banner is a red “1”, which is enclosed in a black circle. Beneath this, in black ink, it reads: “MANUFACTUERS AND PATENTS,” “SIMPLEX TYPEWRITER CO., COR.FIRST AVE.AND 37TH ST.,NEW YORK.U.S.A.”The metal disk can be lifted upwards, so that it becomes almost vertical, in order for paper to be loaded into the typewriter.On the cartridge along the back edge of the wooden base is a white measuring strip, labeled 0-64 (going up by 2’s) in black ink, with black vertical lines denoting measurements (1 cm = 4 units of measure on strip, therefore, the 64 units of measure on the strip correspond with 16cm).
