Description from the seller

Beautiful Gossen Tippa travel typewriter, complete with its original carrying case and key.
This exemplar stands out for its emblematic ultrathin design and the iconic bright red/bordeaux color, presenting an authentic and refined vintage character.
The Gossen Tippa is positioned among the most famous and coveted German portable typewriters of the post-war period.
Originally developed by the prestigious company P. Gossen & Co. in Erlangen—worldwide recognized for manufacturing high-precision scientific instruments and measuring devices—this machine was born in the late 1940s to meet the need for a practical and lightweight “travel office.”
The innovative concept rests on the “office in a case” format. The protective lid features internal leather compartments, specifically designed to securely store paper, envelopes, and documents during transport. The low-profile chassis and sturdy base make it perfect for use on a desk as well as on one's lap.
Includes the original instruction manual.

Dimensions:
9.5 x 34 x 32 cm
