1940 Rheinmetall Portable Serial # 270567 1940 Rheinmetall Portable typewriter, Serial # 270567 Geoff Flash's 1940 Rheinmetall Portable typewriter. 2024-11-29 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Geoff Flash: 1940 Rheinmetall Portable Serial # 270567 #699

Hard to tell if this is really a 1940 model based on the serial #. Is this still considered an American keyboard?

"I was born in a crossfire hurricane"...
A professor in college gave me the gift and appreciation of the letter form.
Typewriters are just little "print shops" for me.
I have an MFA in 3D Digital Sculpture.
I no longer mold young minds, by teaching art to high school students, everyday is a safari now...
In my spare time I own and operate an equal opportunity rescue shelter for all makes and models of typewriters that have been abandoned in the bottoms of closets.
No matter how many typewriters I am fortunate to be able to collect, my collection will not be as nice as Herman's...
