Princess 100 Typewriter — 1960s West Germany

A genuine iconic Princess 100 portable typewriter from the 1960s, complete with its original carrying case. Compact, elegant, and exceptionally lightweight, the Princess 100 is widely regarded as one of the smallest and most portable mechanical typewriters ever produced.

Manufactured in West Germany during the golden age of portable typewriters, the Princess 100 became known for combining impressive portability with a surprisingly refined typing experience. Its slim profile, clean lines, and quality engineering make it a favorite among writers, collectors, and lovers of mid-century design.

Despite its compact dimensions, the Princess 100 delivers smooth, precise, and responsive typing. Built for everyday use as well as travel, it remains a wonderful example of German mechanical craftsmanship.

Its timeless design makes it equally suitable as a practical writing machine or as a beautiful decorative piece for a home office or creative workspace.
