Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG) - Mignon 3 - Typewriter - 1910-1920

The AEG Mignon Model 3, also known as the Vasanta model, is a typewriter produced by Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft (AEG) of Berlin. The Mignon series is characterized by a particular pointer-based writing system, which is not used in traditional machines with a full alphabetic keyboard. This pointer is used to select characters together with the two operating keys, one of which is for the return. The characters, including uppercase, lowercase and symbols, are arranged on a rotating and movable cylinder that shifts according to the character selected on the alphanumeric table. The table consists of 7 rows of 12 symbols each, for a total of 84 characters and signs. Lacking a cover (carrying case), some marks on the metal case. The roller is in excellent condition, as is the writing unit perfectly clean and preserved. Fully functional, the typing test is not perfect because the original ribbon is dry, without ink.

Estimate:£127.14
