1955 Triumph Matura Serial # 891707 1955 Triumph Matura typewriter, Serial # 891707 Laurenz van Gaalen's 1955 Triumph Matura typewriter. 2021-01-23 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Laurenz van Gaalen: 1955 Triumph Matura Serial # 891707 This typewriter is not about features, it is about performance. The Matura types extremely well and very fast; after a while you forget you are operating a typewriter.

Remarkable: the carriage can be removed in two seconds and when you hear the bell, there are only five characters left.

P.S. During cleaning a well preserved stamp from the Dutch East Indies fell out of the machine.
