Arabic Language Typewriter آلة كاتبة , Erika Model 50, 1976

A wonderful, Arabic language, Erika Model 50 typewriter from 1976 in like-new condition. It has an Arabic language typeface/font, has been fully professionally reconditioned, and is ready to type with a new ribbon! It has a handsome presence with the two-tone (blue and white) colour scheme. It comes with the original User Handbook and typing sample from the factory.
This typewriter belonged to a German man who emigrated to Europe from Damascus in the early-1980s. He used it to write poetry inspired by Rumi and was published in several poetry journals. He kept it in exceptionally fine condition.
Erika typewriters are highest quality machines and were manufactured by Seidel & Naumann company of Dresden, Germany. This is the Model 50, a very popular and reliable model typewriter.

Acme typewriters has long been the choice of discerning collectors and writers. Acme typewriters are carefully selected, beautifully restored and come with a one-year mechanical warranty and lifetime customer-service. Each comes with a "signature seal", attached to the body, identifying it as a fully-restored Acme typewriter. Most shipments to the US arrive in 3 days--often much faster than most domestic. Many new dealers strive to imitate us--none succeed. 
Mechanically this typewriter is in top working condition. Everything works as it should and as originally designed. The platen is smooth and clean and as you can see from the typing test (see photo) the imprint is excellent. The rubber feet on the base are in top condition and grip the desktop well.
