Description:
A manufacturer I have never seen before, this Admira. Spanish kyeboard layout, and little more can be said about it... I don´t have any clue on the procedence of this typewriter, or whether it´s an original model or a copy of something else. The person I bought it from doesn´t know anything about it. The date is a wild guess, too. Pure mystery.
Nevertheless, it works fine. Not the best typewriter out there, but fairly decent.

The first typewriter I saw was my grandpa´s Olivetti Linea 98 at the office. It was just a curio for me. Then I was given a Nakajima, which I didn´t use and my grandfather took it from me because it was easier to handle than the bulky Linea 98. Now I own that typewriter, and I started a little collection in Valladolid, Spain. The Nakajima, which is "my" typewriter only returned home in 2017, almost 20 years later, when he wanted a better typewriter.
A collection that started small grew into something bigger, a nuisace for my family and a great source of satisfaction for me.
