Description:
The Erika 20 is a relatively rare typewriter because it was only built for a short time. The complex mechanics, which revived the characteristics of the Erika M from the 1930s, required a high price, too high for the time.
My Erika 20 is in excellent technical condition. A small paint damage comes from transport. It is used regularly. The advantage is the small font, the so-called Perl, i.e. a smaller pica.

I have been collecting typewriters since 2022. I now own around 50 of them.
I use typewriters every day, either for letters or my diary.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Erika 20 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Erika Serial Number page and the Erika 20 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
