The start of production of typewriters in Crema, city near Milano, dates back to 1932 when the limited company was established Serio that the following year ushered in a new plant in Santa Maria Avenue and Mill street and began the production of the model SABB , followed shortly Mondial model and the model in 1934 Everest 42 . Just the name of the model, Everest , will be for years, the identifying mark of the factory.<br />The thriving business location meant that in 1940 we counted 509 workers , 26 employees, 63 sales agents in Italy , and an induced consists of hundreds of mechanical fitters . In the 50s it grew to over 1,200 employees.<br />A prominent figure in the landscape of industrial production during this period was undoubtedly represented by Elisha Restelli ( 1903-1973 ) . She was born in milano but she lived in Crema.Elisha Restelli called by Serio , having already gained some experience in the field of typewriters. In Creama Restelli , together with a large group of technicians , planned since the early 30's the most important models produced by Serious, both of typewriters that calculation.<br />They went to projects Restelli models typewriter Everest 42 (1934) , Everest 44 with cart in height to the case (1935) , Standard (1936), basket with S100 Mobile (1937) , ST (1948) , K2 ( 1952) to the Standard Model 92 (1954)"<br />sorry for my not good languagefilipponoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-54618375261670478802013-09-03T15:25:45.002+10:002013-09-03T15:25:45.002+10:00I have a Sanple 250dl that I found at a garage sal...I have a Sanple 250dl that I found at a garage sale.

I lo...Wow! You've out done yourself with June.<br />I love it. All those machines. <br /><br />Ebay can be a real entertainment site when it comes to the typewriters.

Here's hoping your arm will heal soon, and that you'll get plenty of chances to enjoy your new typewriters. And who knows? You might find a hidden treasure or two now that you started sorting out your own typewriters.

Some very interesting and unique machines were dispersed.<br /><br />Here's hoping that July brings you healing and good news!Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.com
