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.
This miniature toy example looks good on display.
I am not sure if it working but it would need a new ribbon so that it would print letters. It is therfore being sold only as a decorative display item. It is priced accordingly. It measures about 20 x 19 x 13 cm tall.
