Best of luck with the sale. I'm happy to see that the two of those which I have representatives of will command the highest prices. My flat top has been honored by me by beign given to the TLC of Ole Kehlet at his Sacramento typewriter shop.
Small, small world. One of the Torpedo typewriters has a sticker on it from the "Nöthel" company located in Göttingen/Germany. My father worked for them after his escape from East-Germany in 1957. Actually the sticker is most likely based on the design of the sticker used by my grandfather and later by my parents in their typewriter shop in Quedlinburg from 1930-1957. I do have some calculators and typewriters with the Nöthel sticker and some other Nöthel-souveniers in my late fathers typewriter collection.
I always enjoy to visit your blog, greeting from Germany. Oliver Nephuth
I do not accept anonymous comments. I only allow comments under User IDs provided I know who that person is. Do not ask me to evaluate typewriters. Comments must be relevant to the post. As the author of these posts, I make the decisions about what they contain - it is not open to discussion.
I'm fascinated by your blog and museum and recently emailed your gmail. Just wondering if that email address is still valid?

im with georg - those are the 2 that catch my eye too. I think you'll sell all though. There isn't one bad machine.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the Torpedo with the "Nöthel" badge, I posted a commerical from 1950 on Facebook. Should be visible also for non-facebook members.
