Description:
Going by the serial number for Erika 30 (30/40 in 1965, 33's from 1967) gives a date in around 1965. Very few exist. It looks clean. It types as I imagine it was designed.

I have been collecting typewriters all my life, starting with a 1980's Brother Charger 11 (which I no longer have, but have replaced with an identical machine). I have well over 60 typewriters now, with a few rare portables. Some are interesting or odd, but most of mine are common machines.
My wife and I have made a deal, that I can keep buying typewriters if she can keep buying shoes. Fair enough! *shrugs*
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Commodore Portable on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Commodore Serial Number page and the Commodore Portable By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
