Acquired Vintage Copy Holder (Unknown Manufacturer)
A mid-19th century typing accessory in steel with putty colored paint.
9" x 7" x 4 3/4"
A beige colored copy holder made out of a bent piece of sheet metal stands next to a gray Royal KMG typewriter on a desk. The holder has a flat metal bottom that bends in a small loop at the bottom before shooting back up at an angle to hold papers for easy viewing while typing up one's notes. On this one there is a black binder clip holding an index card to the top of the holder.

I picked this copy holder up at a thrift store in early 2025 for about $2. Along with a binder clip or some small magnets, it’s great for transcribing notes using one of my typewriters.

@chrisaldrich Don’t you mean mid-twentieth century? In any case, I’ve never seen anything quite that good when I was looking for one. Even though I only type on a computer these days, I still use paper.
