1907 Standard Folding 1 Serial # 253 1907 Standard Folding 1 typewriter, Serial # 253 Ben Metzger's 1907 Standard Folding 1 typewriter. 2025-02-15 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Ben Metzger: 1907 Standard Folding 1 Serial # 253 The keyboard on this typewriter was made for a French user, so I believe it was probably an Azed. I know of an Azed with serial 277, which is only 24 away from mine - so that's more support for this one being an Azed. Note the MAJ and CHIF keys. Majuscule translates to “upper case.” Chiffre means “figure.” Austrian, German, and French armies used these early typewriters.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Standard Folding 1 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Standard Folding Serial Number page and the Standard Folding 1 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
