Description:
I got this gorgeous burgundy 1930 Erika 5--with matching burgundy leather case with regal purple velvet interior--in December 2020 in Holmeson, New Jersey. It is absolutely beautiful. There are some broken linkages underneath that I can't currently get to, since the base is currently secured quite solidly to the machine. The platen is rock hard, but it has so much potential.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Erika 5 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Erika Serial Number page and the Erika 5 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
