Description:
I thought the typewriter hunt was closed for now waiting to resume after the holidays, Instead I was lucky enough to find this beauty. Manufactured in Germany in the Wuppertal Voss plant in the early 50s of last century, when I saw this machine I couldn't believe my eyes.... body made entirely of burgundy bakelite...moreover in excellent condition, perfectly working and paid a more than reasonable price. I can go on vacation very satisfied...........

I have been an Italian typewriter collector for many many years. At that time, I loved very old typewriters from late 1800s to early 1900s. After a break of a few years I returned to collect typewriters but no longer so old, I prefer now the design of the 40's, 50's and 60's. Yes, I am an affectionate collector of Olivetti, of course, but I'm attracted to all the other brands from that period, not just Italian.
