Eagle A Typewriter Paper

[Zookie]

A couple of days ago, I had the opportunity to purchase a ream of Eagle A typewriter paper at a local goodwill. I couldn't look at it as the package was sealed, but I think it said 25% cotton bonded paper with a cockle fiinish.

 

I love using old papers, and the price seemed ok ($4.99), but I passed on it. Now it's nagging on me. Did I pass on a really good deal?

 

I did buy an unused 6X9 Harvard Square 3 subject spiral notebook with 150 pages for .99 cents. I like it, but can't find out who makes (or made)them. It's nice with fountain pens, but rollerball gels show through a bit. Has anyone ever seen one?

 

I don't think I should have passed on the typewriter paper.

I would have grabbed that paper with glee and hugged it to my chest. Go get 'er.

Hi,

 

From what I found in the wild, ye olde typewriter paper makes for very good FP friendly writing stock.

 

The cockle finish indicates that it is likely to have a 'puckered' surface which is more like bond than a wove/laid paper; and the cotton content indicates higher than normal quality - executive-grade rather than bumph.

 

Most of those exquisite papers went down the maw of copiers / printers, so to find a ream is grand.

 

Bye,

Yes, its likely to be a very nice paper -- similar to what people sometimes refer to as "onionskin" paper.
