Is it a note-taking station? Is it a decoration only? Is it your regular journal? Is it a shopping list maker? Is it on display or tucked away?

I use mine to quickly write down ideas, so that I don’t get distracted by other things on a computer or have to wait for a computer to boot up. Other than that it’s a conversation piece and a decoration.

Edit, I forgot to include, I have a Royal like the one below. It was the cheapest one at the antique store, and it has worked perfectly for the 10+ years I’ve owned it.

    If I remember right I have a royal quiet deluxe, I use it for notes I don’t want a digital record of like medical or other personal notes. Also every once in a while I’ll make a wall decoration, people seem to love them.

        Wow, that’s so cool! You turned an accident into something that looks like it was purposely made that way.

        There is a special novelty in a mechanically typed page.

          Thanks, you can tell it really got under my skin because I bothered to center my type, I don’t like centering my type. It’s a bitch to center type, lol

          But yeah very novel right now, like the other comment mentions choice of stationary, I like using cotton paper. Really leaves an impression.
