Description:
This is as beautiful to type on as it is ugly. This Gabriele 25 came to me looking like it had smoked 20 Marlboros a day, all its life. I bought it purely as it would have been my first Techno Elite font machine. Oh my goodness. I adore it. THE smoothest carriage return of ANY of my machines (by a long shot) and one of the prettiest typefaces. Every time it's used it just gets on with the job and makes a thoroughly brilliant job of it. I've been tempted to buy another so this can have a case and a branded ribbon cover but somehow it's happy to get along with neither. When I want a no-nonsense machine to get on with a task, I'll often reach for my 25.
(The font is almost identical to the Hermes and Facit Techno elite with only the 5 being different - as far as I can make out)

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 a nice, round, 40 machines . . . and any new addition will be on a strict "one in - one out" basis.
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.
