I loved to see this. I saw one similar stored away in a back room of my first office job. It was used to tag tyres in the stock racks and businesses around used to put orders in for labelling. I like how you captured that very realistic colour of age and rust I suppose. The details are good and definitely fits the bill of something from the past.

Very interesting to see this address maker from way back in the day, it's amazing how the office equipment has evolved both in style and size.
I appreciate the opportunity to view this.
Well photographed with good focus, this image is clear, exposure is correct, the Rusty tones and texture stand out well here, I like the keys and the way they stand up tall like on an old typewriter.
Well composed and presented! Best wishes to you in this contest!

This is a intriguing machine. It reminds me of old typewriters, but I have not seen a Graphotype before. You captured interesting detail. I see rust inside and scratches at the surface. Your photo is excellent focused and exposed and has good depth. I appreciate the realism of light and color. The tight framing is sufficient. The Graphotype is well placed within the frame. The composition is balanced.

Well that type writer has seen better days. It definitely is from the past. Even with all the mono tones of the rust brown color the detail is still clear. Best of luck.

Wow! This very accurately captures the complexity of this machine. How much engineering has changed since the invention of the computer. I like your contrasting complimentary colours here with the orange and blue. A true piece of history with a story telling aspect. It makes me wonder where those dog tags travelled and with whom. Nice entry into the competition, good luck

This is for sure something old from the past, and even if it is a pity with all the rust it is a perfect object for a photographer. I especially like how well you have brought the textures of the rust, and also the close and personal approach.
The photo is sharp showing truly clear and well defined details in every part of the addressotype, and the exposure is perfect.
My only comment is about the composition. I think it is a pity that the top of this machine is cut off. Still I think this is a great looking and well taken photo, and I wish you luck with the contest.

It is in really bad shape, interesting instrument, I thought it was some kind of typewriter, which it seems to be, too bad it wasnt in better shape. I would have liked to see this machine in action back in its day

Yes, this was sitting outside a shop and was victim to the weather for who knows how long! Thanks so much for review.

What an incredible find, so old and rusty. Love the shades of colours in the rust.
The details of the machinery is amazing, Great lighting to show the details. All the best in the contest!

Quite a piece of technology from the past. I like the rusty details and the great colors. I wonder if it could log onto the internet though. LOL. Best of luck in the contest.

I really enjoy the contrast in this photo. The blue color in the background really makes the graphotype stand out in a wonderful way. The way you captured the rust is really interesting and nice. This is a really nice photo.
