Step back in time with the original Gossen Tippa QWERTZ Keyboard Typewriter, a masterpiece of post-war German engineering. Produced by P. Gossen & Co. GmbH in Erlangen between 1948 and 1956, this isn't just a writing machine; it's a piece of history renowned as one of the most compact and portable manual Typewriters ever made. Its minimalist, ultra-flat design makes it an iconic example of mid-century industrial design.

While the Adler Tippa models are more common, finding an original Gossen-branded Tippa like this one is a truly rare discovery. Gossen produced these Typewriters for a relatively short period (1948–1956) before selling the rights to Adler, making their original machines highly sought after by serious collectors. This specific piece represents the initial vision of Gossen's brilliant engineering team, predating the mass production that followed under the Adler brand.

This isn't just a functional item; it's a genuine collector's dream and a solid investment in design history. The provenance from P. Gossen & Co. GmbH in post-war West Germany adds a layer of historical significance that enhances its value and appeal. By owning this Typewriter, you secure a tangible link to a specific moment in German industrial history, ensuring your collection stands out with a unique and authenticated piece of vintage machinery. In other words, the fact that the ancestry of this Typewriter is traced back to erstwhile Western Germany is a very unique aspect of this machine - it was manufactured in a country that does not even exist now!

For the discerning collector, this specific Gossen Tippa offers even greater appeal due to its original QWERTZ keyboard layout. While most vintage typewriters marketed internationally feature the universal QWERTY layout, this machine retains its authentic German configuration, where the 'Z' and 'Y' keys are swapped to better suit the German language. This makes it a highly specific and authentic historical artefact, rather than a more common export model.

The QWERTZ configuration enhances the Typewriter's rarity and historical accuracy, as it was the standard layout for all Typewriters sold within Germany, Austria, and other parts of Central Europe. Finding an early, Gossen-branded model in excellent condition with this original, untouched layout is a true "rare find" that makes it particularly desirable for Typewriter enthusiasts and a standout addition to any serious collection.

Often referred to as the "office in a briefcase," the Tippa was designed for writers, journalists, and travellers who needed reliability on the go. Its durable, all-metal construction and precise mechanical action provide a uniquely satisfying and tactile typing experience that modern keyboards can't replicate - as is evident in the accompanying video.

This Gossen Tippa is perfect to carry around town courtesy of its robust original leather carry case. An original carry case is a rarity in the Typewriter world!

This vintage gem is a must-have for collectors, interior decorators, and anyone seeking a functional, stylish alternative to digital technology. Its striking red finish and robust build quality ensure it remains a captivating conversation piece and a dependable tool for drafting your next great work. Owning a Gossen Tippa is embracing a legacy of quality and design that has stood the test of time.

This Typewriter is fully functional & ready to type on straight out of the box, and will keep typing perfectly for decades to come.

Our master technicians, each with decades of experience, carefully restore each Typewriter to its original glory, while preserving its unique wear and tear. This ensures that each Typewriter is a one-of-a-kind collectible masterpiece.
