Description:
I bought this machine on February 21, 2026 at a collectors' meeting of the IFHB/SHBS in Solothurn, Switzerland. The AEG Special is a rare variant of the AEG Mignon No. 3 or No. 4 (in this case, the Mignon 4 because it has a backspace button). I got this machine from the Enter Technikwelt collection. Purchased. The machine has the very rare Fraktur typeface. It also includes a German-French and a German character set with their corresponding type cylinders.

I come from southern Germany and have been collecting historical typewriters for 10 years. I'm interested in the antique machines built before 1945. All machines built after 1945 are not used for collecting but for writing
