Description:
The case of this Baby contained a few sheets of carbon paper. On one of them there were tables with annual figures from 1997. Quite a feat on a typewriter without tabulator and zero key.
Carriage rattles when using carriage return lever. Other than that the machine works very well.

I live in The Netherlands.
Most common typewriter brands over here are Triumph/Adler, Olympia, Erika, Olivetti, Remington and Brother.
I collect and restore typewriters to learn about their design and to write with them.
