Antique German Toy Typewriter with Rotary Dial. DRGM / DRP USA patent in original box
This is more of an item for the collector of antique children's toys - or early typewriters.
This is an antique children's junior tin typewriter. Made in Germany D.R.P. with a US patent. It is a black colour made from lithographed sheet metal - it has a ball-headed typewriter section - and has two rows of daisy wheel - for uppercase and lowercase letters. The keyboard is not functional and is in imitation of a real one etc.
All pieces seem to be present- except for the little red button on the right-hand side - which corresponds with the one which is present on the left. It should be very easy to make a wee replacement. Please see all my images of details.
The typewriter - is mounted onto its original red card - this slides into its cardboard storage box. The original box is a bit shabby chic but in fair enough condition - it has Art Deco decoration on the side of the box - and little vintage images of children playing on the lid - as photographed.
