Finnish Erika brochure
I recently made a purchase from a Finnish used bookstore, and while trying to find a few more things to buy to take better advantage of the flat rate shipping I came across this wonderful brochure. The seller kindly threw it in for free.
Based on the models available, and the code printed on the back, I think this is from 1939. I've seen a very similar brochure in German, but it's nice to have one in another language that I'm a bit familiar with. (I know some Finnish, but couldn't hold a conversation yet. Those other books I was buying aren't novels!)

*and also so-called dead keys
On inspection, the keyboard appears to have been modified after production (and quite thoroughly too because 6 typeslugs and keypapers had to be changed from the standard layout). This probably explains the oddities of the special characters not always matching up!
