Description:
The" Orga Privat "was constructed by Ludwig Reischl about 1920, shortly after the currency reform after the first World War, and manufactured by the toy factory" Bing - Werke vormals Gebrüder Bing AG " in Nuremberg.
The company was founded in 1863 by the brothers Ignaz and Adolf Bing as a short action. After the Bing brothers had also included metal goods in their offer, a metal goods factory was created for the production of" household appliances", which later also produced tin toys and teddy bears and, according to their own data, developed as the largest toy producer in the world. Around 1900, Bing had around 3,500 employees. From 1922 Bing also built typewriters, first of all, the "Organic Standard" and then the "Orga Privat".
The "Orga Privat" was a medium-sized type lever machine with a four-row keypad with 42 keys and 84 characters, front-end and simple switch-over (half-keypad).
The "Orga Privat" was the first typewriter with a self - supporting sheet metal housing, in its design the experience of BING - Werke from the tin-toy production. As a result, a cost-effective production was possible. Nevertheless, the machine had all the features of a standard typewriter.
The new design and the simple design made it possible to get a low selling price. The sale price of the machine at that time was almost 200 marks.
Dimensions: approx. 41 x 35 x 27 cm.
The old ribbon is also included.
The Carriage Works. The buttons to flip. Otherwise, I can say nothing about the functionality as a layman. To judge from the optical point of view, the machine seems to be extremely well preserved for age.
It stands on a wooden base plate and is still stored in its Original Metal Box.
Dimensions of the wood base: approx. 44 x 44 cm.
