I got my first FF in the late 80s too, but like a few mentioning here, I also do not remember what model it was and where it is now. There was this electronic hype/break that many have experienced, I guess. I am so glad that I have come back to FF and paper.Strickmusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03342271582395245528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-46529847075705767372012-03-12T16:50:40.267-04:002012-03-12T16:50:40.267-04:00I understand, TPS, thankyou for explaining.I understand, TPS, thankyou for explaining.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05669491851149203943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-17806381207711522962012-03-12T16:29:12.193-04:002012-03-12T16:29:12.193-04:00Oh no Neil, it wasn't just a little scrape, it...Oh no Neil, it wasn't just a little scrape, it got dragged across the ground under the wheel of my suitcase for a few metres!!

That's probably not true of the Winchester! I have sometimes ripped out parts of the inner cardboard in order to make the filofax thinner and more flexible.baggirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05640945655138832003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-40525339778783569752012-03-11T16:02:22.321-04:002012-03-11T16:02:22.321-04:00I can't believe they had it in pigskin!

But I can see why it was so popular in the 1980s, and I love how they had so many different versions- not just different colours, but different KateB TPShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939014609241304340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18497333.post-61332298929482870372012-03-11T09:39:25.834-04:002012-03-11T09:39:25.834-04:00It's the only 'old' one I own although...It's the only 'old' one I own although my wife Alison (the hand!) has one of similar age, and I also have a non-leather one of similar vintage.
