The story behind the Adler Tippa is quite intriguing.  In 1950's Germany, there were several typewriter manufacturers including a now long defunct one called Voss.  The chief designer at Voss, Herr Gossen, invented a little, lightweight go-anywhere portable in his own time, and then jumped ship to begin manufacture of it himself.  The Gossen Tippa became very successful in a short space of time, and came to the attention of Triumph-Adler who did not have a similar product of their own.  Triumph-Adler made Herr Gossen a generous offer and bought the company.  The machine then became the Adler Tippa with an external re-design.  In fact Triumph-Adler were a very early adopter of plastic casings, and when the 'new' Tippa appeared, it was one of the very first.  It is still an attractive design today.

The Tippa is an excellent precision machine, and features a 44-character keyboard with Black/Red/Stencil ribbon control and  fold up paper support for holding longer pages.  A lovely, lightweight, go-anywhere typewriter with an excellent light keyboard touch.

This particular machine is in good condition with little wear, fully serviced and ready to give many more years of reliable service.  Unlike many other vintage makes, the ribbon to fit this typewriter remains in current production and is readily available in three different colours.
