| HEGA Tilman Elster collection Little known machine, labeled Hega Universal Standard Typewriter Mod. 5. Thought to have been introduced around 1924. Highly uncommon. This is a member of the large Minerva/Commercial/Reliable family. |
| IDEAL Tilman Elster collection The machine seen here, an Ideal Model A5, was the first conventional front-strike machine in a body style which appeared modern. It comes in a line of previously successful machines which appear unconventional to us today. Link: Tilman Elster Ideal gallery. |
