Description:
This lightweight plastic-bodied typewriter was made in Bulgaria, probably in the mid-1970s. It is a completely different design than my metal-bodied Maritsa 11, an earlier model from the same factory, Plovdiv Typewriter Works, which was based on the Princess portables from Keller and Knappich.

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.
