![]() Oh, and let’s not forget that my car is also quite the same tone. Which is just as well, as I have other machines that have a fairly similar hue. ![]() This is probably my favourite colour for a typewriter. Although that previous ad had featured photos which had the brightness ramped up to try and catch the colour in the light. This surprised me, as I had seen a similar machine sell for 4 times the price a month before. ![]() These ebay photos had been taken under the same artificial light that somewhat conceals the colour of this typewriter in my photos above As the colour was so hard to discern in the ad, the typewriter was overlooked by other buyers. I saw only hints of the colour in the original Ebay ad’s photos and I took a risk when I put a bid on it that it was what I thought it was. It is an unusually ornate machine that was produced as Germany moved from a war-torn collapsed economy to embracing National-Socialism (NAZISM), and as such is fairly hard to find due to its ‘premium’ treatment. The dark red colour is striking, and the gold pin-striping sets it apart from other machines made at the time. In person this typewriter is quite beautiful.
