Junior Typewriters

Probably the smallest typecast ever. Sorry about that, but it's the best I could do. Also probably the smallest typewriter used for a typecast, too. Here it is:

For a comparison of size, here is a slightly smaller version of a Junior typewriter beside an old Remington upstroke, patiently waiting for some resoration work:

There are at least three models of the 1920s-30s toy Junior typewriter, all made of tin. Paul Robert at the Virtual Typewriter Museum calls the tiresome typing process on the Junior "didactical" (for children, that is). The  earlier scaled-down black versions came on an oiled cardboard board in a cardboard box, the ivory one on a metal base under a red tin cover. The GSN Junior was made in Stein/Nuremberg (Germany) by the Schmidt Brothers. The GSN stands for the company name, the DRP refers to Deutsches Reichspatent and the DRGM means Deutsches Reichs Geschmacks Muster.
I now have three of these Juniors, as well as a (Bennett) Junior. Here they are all together:

The ivory machine prints from two small spools of ribbon, but the two black ones have a very short strip of linen ribbon clipped into a celluloid slide in front of the platen (see purple slide here, and without the slide below):
