Description:
I came across this gorgeous red marbled bakelite Voss and had to have it. It has a crack and a few missing chips on the paper table. But it appears to be a very early Voss, that has some design elements that you don't find on "newer" Voss Model 50 machines. Including some decals, that got all but obliterated ue to the faulty return arm design that was redesigned later on.

I fell into the typewriter rabbit hole due to nostalgia: I used to have a massive Olympia SG1 when I was a kid. It formed my typing habits, which is why I am called a "furious typer" by my coworkers. Came across the r/typewriters page on Reddit which rekindled my love for these wonderful machines. Lets just hope I don't start pushing screens off my desk when I reach the end of a line...
I also have a modest Youtube channel where I document the progress of my typewriter journey: https://www.youtube.com/@Slug_Life
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Voss 50 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Voss Serial Number page and the Voss 50 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
