It works nice but I have to make some reparations. First of all I want to make a deep clean but I'm not sure what I can use without damage it. Then I need one rubber base, because it was lost somehow. Other thing is the ink ribbon, I think that use a common GR1 ink ribbon but not sure.<br />Reviewing your pictures I think it is a Model 8 but I can't find the serial number. Maybe the sticker was removed or covered. <br />Here some pictures:<br />https://photos.app.goo.gl/ozK5cy7hsPbHtDgZ8<br />https://photos.app.goo.gl/DaSZAYFaLLBdP9fJA<br />https://photos.app.goo.gl/p5ydA6CTeTHa2B2J7<br />https://photos.app.goo.gl/fEHcLCLJKkAdHge37<br /><br />Thank you for your help and best regards.

I believe it to be circa 1961. I have seen several like this on your photos, but none with the Pulllman name. It was purchased and still remains in the UK. Perhaps you have more information on this. It is still in superb working order and I still use it, being a touch typist. I remain, Moira.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15045953868509266470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1877281529217716593.post-62301537860173157672015-10-18T15:17:20.212-07:002015-10-18T15:17:20.212-07:00That would be very useful!

Great job!<br /><br />Yes, I bought the No.9 from eBay. Funny thing is that the pictures do not show the real color. It looks like a dark grey on the picture (and I thought I will buy a grey one on ebay, too) but in fact it is a deep black.<br />The grey look is because light gets reflected from these little "sparkle things" inside the color. It is hard to describe. I was blown away when I opened the box.<br />I will try to make better pictures than the eBay seller, but I am not sure, if I will succeed. Hard to take photos of something that reflects light ...<br /><br />Anyway - I am absolutely jealous about that black Erika 11 of yours. What a find! Absolutely amazing. <br /><br />If you ever need help with a buy in or from Germany, feel free to let me know.
