Description:
This is the largest typewriter in my collection. This is a Torpedo with an account card feed mechanism on the top of the carriage. The machine could be a regular Torpedo Solitaire, but I'm not sure. It looks like a Solitaire but the name is not on the lid, does anyone have a hint? This machine has a 10 digit decimal tab that goes to 100 million, normal office machines have less decimal keys. I got this machine very cheap. If you have caught two type levers, you can press the shift key, which will loosen the type levers

I come from southern Germany and have been collecting historical typewriters for 10 years. I'm interested in the antique machines built before 1945. All machines built after 1945 are not used for collecting but for writing
