Showcase (13) : Triumph-Adler Tippa

This fine small portable machine is from early 1960s was the first typewriter we received with German language keys such as Ü and the eszett. The typewriter is in good condition though feels like one which has worked hard in it's time. The typewriter has received a new ribbon and has a good clear typeface (see below).

The Tippa range of typewriter was originally from the German manufacturer Gossen. The Tippa range was sold to Adler in 1956, later it was produced by Triumph-Adler (Triumph taking over Adler in 1966). Our example is an Adler Tippa 1 likely from about 1964.
