Triumphator KN

A very late, very cheap, and very small Triumphator, with as the main selling point to me for this particular specimen, that it is essentially new, never used, and came with its original dust cover.

The machine, then built in Leipzig in the DDR by the Volks-Eigene Betrieb Triumphator-Werk has small capacity ( 7 x 6 x 11 ), input clearing with a bar at the front, one-hand operation with a left-right lever for the carriage under the main crank, clearing of both registers with a single push-lever, with selector levers at the front of the carriage to decide which of the register is cleared, and a non-automatic direction selector for the counter register built into the main crank support.

Best guess for a production date would be early 60's. The serial number of this one is 501420. It would seem logical that serial numbers for the KN range started at 500000.

Now, let's enjoy some pictures:
