Description:
Erika S (Simplex) machine from 1937. SN: 651796/S. German font.
The machine with a wooden box that required full regeneration (the base of the machine was upholstered with felt, not fabric). As usual, it required thorough cleaning, lubrication, getting rid of rust as well as maintenance and protection of the varnish.
One color ribbon 13mm. The weight of the machine itself is 4 kg. With crate 5.50 kg.
It works very gracefully and writes on it quickly.
Without a doubt - for me personally a nice machine for everyday work.

I live in Poland. My hobby is restoring analog devices to life. I do all the work, from cleaning, through mechanical repairs, to possible painting, by myself. I learn a lot from it. The love for typewriters began with Hermes 3000, which I received in 2022 from my sister as a gift. And so the collection is slowly growing...
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Erika S on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Erika Serial Number page and the Erika S By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
