Description:
Light and flimsy, but interesting. Innovative carriage return lever works well. Has geared key levers, a 5th feet inside the machine and no scale on the paper bail. Good access to all parts for easy maintenance. Not bad for a first design.
This machine was in bad shape and the margin rack is missing. Restored to working condition but it does not type pleasant (anymore).
Feet replaced with rubber washers and Olympia Traveller feet.

I live in The Netherlands.
Most common typewriter brands over here are Triumph/Adler, Olympia, Erika, Olivetti, Remington and Brother.
I collect and restore typewriters to learn about their design and to write with them.
