Looking for my last typewriter
Post Body

My typewriter collection is almost complete - for now. The last piece missing is a portable Pre-WWII typewriter with the following criteria.

It would be great if you could suggest some models, because so far, I had no luck on my local 2nd hand market.

  • Pre-WWII/Pre-1945
  • Portable or ultraportable (i.e. no larger than a Hermes 3000)
  • Glass-top keys (white characters on black are OK, black characters on white are preferred)
  • Black smooth glossy piano lacquer finish
  • 4 row keyboard (1 and 0 preferred, but not mandatory)
  • Preferably from a European manufacturer
  • Ideally standard size spools
  • Has a case

So far, the Remington Noiseless Portable seems like a good fit, BUT it's rather expensive here in Europe, and I'm not sure if I appreciate the design choice to omit the return lever.

So any hints to a more budget-friendly alternative would be appreciated. Thank you!
