DARLING COLLECTION

History

Samuel Gertsch designed this high-quality pointer typewriter and manufactured it in his own company. The distribution was temporarily provided by the Darling Typewriter Co., or Rymtowt-Prince in Geneva. In the USA, the Darling with the additional name the New America was sold on the cover, namely by the company Ingersoll, which had previously sold several different Toy typewriters.
Production ended in 1913, and Gertsch designed the Sphinx.

Note: The Darling should not be confused with the Trebla, which was also marketed in the USA by Ingersoll under the name Darling.

DARLING COLLECTION

Index typewriter with double switching for lower case, upper case and characters.
The pointer handle is set to the desired character, which causes you to rotate the type wheel located at the bottom of the index head. By pressing down the entire index head, the sign is printed on the paper and the cart is pushed one Position further.
The Switch takes place by raising the pointer and twisting the middle part, the pointer latches into one of the three positions between the nickel-plated pins. The Darling writes a total of 78 characters through this double switch, contrary to other literature references.

In addition to this normal version mounted on a base plate, there is also a mysterious specimen of the Darling, which has neither carriage nor base plate. It is referred to by the owner as a "Pocket model".
