1939 Erika 5 Serial # 794418/5 1939 Erika 5 typewriter, Serial # 794418/5 Mark Petersen's 1939 Erika 5 typewriter. 2017-11-10 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mark Petersen: 1939 Erika 5 Serial # 794418/5 Because I tried one belonging to a friend, and then needed to get one for myself.
Loud enough to get you reprimanded by employees at a coffee shop.
Probably a QWERTZ machine with a Z/Y switch, which is awesome if you are an American who can speak German.

I am an aspiring novelist and avid typewriter enthusiast from the New River Valley in Virginia. I am a proud Virginia Tech graduate with an education in creative writing. I use typewriters for all my writing and am working on a novel. I also do street poetry. I often can be found writing on one of my machines in downtown Blacksburg and enjoying a drink.
