"Rofa"

"ROFA"

In 1923, the Robert Fabig GmbH company, Berlin, introduced this new model for the Rofa typewriter, the model 4.

Unluckily in that period, the "Underwood", created by a German-American inventor and soon bought by an entrepreneur, John T. Underwood, dominated the market because of its 'front striker' keyboard, having a clear view of what it's typed, unlike the Rofa that is a 'down striker'.

This consigned this wonderful stylish typewriter, as many others, to oblivion in 1929.
