1966 Erika CBM 40 Serial # 4094327 1966 Erika CBM 40 typewriter, Serial # 4094327 Mark Rosenzweig's 1966 Erika CBM 40 typewriter. 2016-01-04 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mark Rosenzweig: 1966 Erika CBM 40 Serial # 4094327 This rebrand of the Erika 40 is labeled Model 47 on the back but says CBM 40 on the ribbon cover. It has a Hebrew keyboard, and so types from right to left. The machine's carriage return lever is on the right, unlike conventional Erika 40s, where it is on the left and unlike my Hermes 3000 with a Hebrew keyboard. Made in USSR-occupied East Germany and imported into the U.S. by Continental Typewriter Trading Corp., New York City. So, perhaps CBM stands from Continental Business Machines.

I have collected typewriters since the early 1970s. My first collectible machine was a Mignon, but I also had everyday typers then, first a Voss ST-24 and an Olivetti Praxis 48, and then a Hermes 3000 and a Hermes 10. Over the last decade or so, I've turned my focus from early machines (Lambert, Blickensderfer, Hammond, Smith-Premier, etc.) to portables.

Besides typewriters, I also am avid about Studebakers, and have had a 1964 Studebaker GT Hawk since 1979.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Erika CBM 40 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Erika Serial Number page and the Erika CBM 40 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
