    H all,

    can someone tell me where in Ireland (or eBay) can I get old (70's- 80's) typewriter paper?

    It is not the onion skin like. don't know much about the grade that was used in that era.

    anyone can help?
    I need 5-7 pages.
    all help appreciated

    Surely it was the same as ordinary A4 copier paper which can be bought in any office shop?

    I think they would be different size and thickness.
    I I have seen some on internet it was mixed with cotton (but available only in states for sale)

    Old thread, but if of any interest, the size of typing paper before A4 was known as Quarto, the larger one was Foolscap. Can't remember the smaller one though. Probably the same weight as today's, 80gsm. There also used to be a finer paper for making carbon copies, it was just called Copy Paper or Copying Paper I think. Doubt its still around but check out legal stationers, they may be able to advise.

    P.S. the smaller paper, just remembered, was called Octavo.
