RARE MIGNON Nº4 FOLDING YEAR 1924

Rare antique Mignon Nº4 typewriter, made in Germany in 1924, by AEG, Allgemeine Clektrizitats Gesellshaf Company.

The operation is simple, all the characters are arranged on a cartouche (this varies depending on the language) and with a rod the desired one is chosen. The middle button sets the character to the paper and the left one is the space, while the right one moves the car back. This machine allowed to reach a speed of at least 100 blows per minute.

This Mignon Nº4 typewriter that we sell is in very good aesthetic condition and works correctly. The rarity and particularity of this specimen lies in the fact that the piece that holds the rod to choose the character can be raised to write with it, and lowered to store it in the case. Few Mignon machines were made with this rare system, and only a few exist today in the hands of a lucky collector. Keep the original case.

There are several models of Mignon. There is only one copy of Nº1 in a museum in Germany. The Nº2 in red (very rare) and the Nº2 in black manufactured between 1904 and 1913. The Nº2B manufactured around 1913 with a circulation of 3,000 units. Nº3 manufactured between 1914 and 1924 and Nº4 manufactured between 1924 and 1936. These last two machines are the same and only differ in one key, but Nº3 is much rarer and comes with a metal case instead of a wooden one.
