[GreenKeys] Green ribbons - cheap

[Ralph Irish]

What shows in the photos are new, old stock, green ribbons on a special holder for
a particular typewriter.  It is the same size as something on a Teletype machine,
( 1/2" ) and needs to be hand re-wound on a Teletype compatible spool.

The printed text on the box says:

   INKED RIBBON


	61
Remington Standard
Electric model 17,
  Portable  N.S.
	1/2"
       GREEN

    Twin spool
    WITH EYELETS

I've not opened any of them.  The clear plastic is a heat sealed bag.  Boxes
measure 2 1/2" x 2 1/2", about 7/8" thick.

I  DO  NOT  know if there are the reversing rivets on the ribbon.  To
be honest, I don't think so.  If someone has a method of attaching
something on the ribbon to do this please let the group know.

I will ship one or two to anyone who will repay postage plus one FOREVER stamp.
Can pay it all in postage if that is convenient.  No money, no PayPal, no
checks or money orders needed.  Exact amount not critical, just get close with
available postage stamps.

This will end up being a "dirty fingers job" unless one works well with rubber
or latex gloves.  I have boxes 10 of these; as mentioned above, "New Old Stock".

The ribbon is wound on a metal holder that obviously fits into the right spots
on that model Remington typewriter.  The other 'round thing' has the other end
of the ribbon affixed to it.  I guess the idea was to easily change ribbons
with minimal ink transfer to one's fingers, etc.  The two metal holders will
be discarded if you find a way to put these into service on a Teletype.

Might make interesting color contrast on white paper.  Otherwise, I can't think
of any good reason to use them.  "For the man who wants one of everything."

73,

Ralph
