Kosmopolit - 1888


Made in Germany.
Manufacturer: Guhl und Harbeck, Hamburg.
An indicator type of machine which permitted actual writing with only one hand that purported to be more quality work rather than speed was called the Kosmopolit. A model was also made for use by the blind and there is record of the price in an announcement in 1907 that carried what is equivalent today to $38.
