Description:
Early machine with the rounded body style. The keyboard was altered too: the geared key levers were replaced with pushing levers.
Oddity: the bell doesnât work when the carriage is shifted.
This Halberg came with the leaflet and user manual of the first model. The half line spacing option as shown in the last photo is actually mentioned as a feature in the leaflet.
Scans of the documentation (including an English version of the user manual) can be downloaded from The Halberg list.

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.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Halberg Junior on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Halberg Serial Number page and the Halberg Junior By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
