![]() This typewriter could be used heavily and frequently since it's well built and a very smooth machine to use if you don't mind the rather unusual and finnicky carriage return "lever" - or whatever you choose to call it since it's not really a lever. The typewriter does not seem to have rubber feet, so I would recommend typing with it attached to the base so that it does not slide around too much. The carriage return is not a lever, but rather a small piece which has to be pinched, then moved rearward to advance to the next line and then reset. The case is also in great condition, but is missing its original leather handle. The paint shines like new, and all the labels are in remarkably good shape for this machine's age. ![]() Amazingly, this machine is in near mint shape overall, and is fully functional down to the bell. ![]() This model is not a common find in America, because this typewriter was not made for exportation into America. Up for sale is an absolutely beautiful and rare Erika 5 which was made in Dresden, Germany in 1931.
