| Although HALDA manufactured typewriters as early as the late 1890's, the company's products were, until introduction of the Halda Model 8 (which happened in 1914) either experimental or very low-production oddities. The Model 8 was replaced by a revised and slightly reengineered Model 10 in 1918. Financial troubles ensued, and cooperation with the Norden concern of Denmark resulted in the production of Halda-Norden machines from about 1929. In 1938, the company was merged with Facit AB, although the Halda name remained on the typewriters until the end of the 1950's. |

| HALDA STANDARD 6 Tilman Elster collection This machine replaced the Halda-Norden 5 seen above in 1941. Serial 6-240416. |
| HALDA STAR Tilman Elster collection Also identified as Halda Standard 7. Introduced 1953 and very highly reengineered and altered. Serial 7-035857, built 1955. |
| FACIT T1 Tilman Elster collection Further improvements, and name change, introduced 1957-58. Serial 118028, built 1959. |
| FACIT T2 Tilman Elster collection Further refinements to mechanical design (and cosmetic alterations) resulted in the T2, introduced in 1960. Serial T2-201318, built 1961. |
| HALDA MODEL P Tilman Elster collection First produced 1948 to a new design. The first "Halda" portable. This example is serial P31030, built 1952. |
| HALDA MODEL P Tilman Elster collection 1958 machine showing the later color applied; this example is serial P125329. |
| FACIT TP1 Tilman Elster collection First redesign of the portable, and with the new name. Introduced on the market in 1958 along with the T1 seen earlier. Serial number 382723, built 1963. |

| FACIT 1840 Tilman Elster collection Electric type-bar machine produced originally as the 1820 in 1969. This line has lower profile than other Facit electrics, and could be called 'semi-standard.' This improved Facit 1840 is serial number 524020 and was built in about 1975. |
