I'm a french speaking belgian radio reporter. I was born in 1970. As a child, I very often played with my mother's Erika 43 grey portable typewriter. It served several years later for my university works. I bought my first collectible typewriter in 2020 : a 1946 (or 1947 ?) Royal Arrow. I only collect portable typewriters. Those a journalist could had use on the field. I'm still searching fot tow models : my mother's Erika 43 and my grandfather's 1929 Underwood 4 banks portable. After those two, I'm done with collecting typewriters.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Erika 8 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Erika Serial Number page and the Erika 8 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
