Question-of-the-day on the lunch net here in town was "do you have a typewriter?" and it reminded me of this German one I've had since middle school — when I found it in the attic of a home we lived in. It was used the most when it served as a sort of guest book in my college dorm room, where people would leave messages. I wish I had kept any of those sheets! The keyboard includes ß and umlaut but omits a one and zero — you have to use the lowercase “L” or a capital “O”.
