Meine Schreibmaschinensammlung / My own collection

Die Schreibmaschinen sind hier alphabetisch geordnet. "#" steht für "Seriennummer". Die Altersbestimmung erfolgte, wenn nicht anders erwähnt, mit Hilfe von www.tw-db.com. "Ca." (circa) deutet an, dass keine genaue Altersbestimmung erfolgen konnte, die gegebene Jahreszahl also auf Schätzung und/ oder Vergleich mit anderen Exemplaren beruht.
