From 1971 until 1977, the German firm Triumph-Adler produced a luxury version of their well-respected small portable, the Tippa 'S'.  The Contessa sat a little higher on the desk, and came with lots of chrome trim and a contrasting charcoal snap-over carry case.

A well-specified machine, it featured a 44-character keyboard, eraser table and margin release key that also doubles as a type-bar unjamming device, allowing the operator to avoid getting inky fingers should they clash two typebars together.  This typewriter has a lovely smooth action and is a joy to use.  Unlike many other vintage typewriters, this model takes a ribbon which remains widely available.  It is light in weight and easy to carry anywhere in its plastic snap-over case. It would make an ideal present for someone special, or simply treat yourself !
