Description:
A beautiful machine from the tail end of the Weimar Republic before the Nazi takeover. QWERTZ layout, Bought it from an old farmer family in Minnesota, seems to have been in the family since it was new judging by a typed tag typed in German and stuck in the upper lid. Really cool thrust action typewriter. Never seen anything else quite like it, got it for $40. Sometimes you get lucky.

I am a musician, a software engineer, a writer, and a dabbler at just about everything and anything. I have a particular passion for tools of creativity and the way the physical experience alters the resulting work be it the feel of a particular guitar, fountain pen, keyboard, or, obviously, a typewriter. I don't have a huge typewriter collection but I always have my eyes open for new machines that strike my fancy. I have a weakness for Olivettis. My first typewriter was a Remington Quiet-Riter that I bought in the fourth grade so I could be like H. G. Wells. Over the years I have owned a few machines but now that I have the space to indulge, I have a few more. I live in rural Minnesota with my wife, our four rescue dogs, and two cats.
