Description:
Spotted in a local recycling facility, priced at £10. Typed wonderfully but the Jiminy Cricket-sounding lady at the counter said to me "Why do you want another typewriter if you have others at home?" . . . so I left it. It looked spotless inside and felt better to use than my old Erika 105 (and that was really good) so there's a little bit of me that might return to the recycling centre another time and save it . . .

Relatively new to the hobby - My first machine was an Everest Mod 90 that I bought after watching a Violet Evergarden anime in December 2021.
My collection now consists of 41 machines.
My absolute favourite remains (just) my 1939 Royal KMM. For me, it's both the prettiest and the "warmest" to type on. It has "Majik" (with a nod to Sandy1)
I count my blessings that I am lucky enough to have amassed such a beautiful bunch.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Erika 42 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Erika Serial Number page and the Erika 42 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
