I think it did not last long after the establishment of the German Democratic Republic, but the name apparently was preserved on this Arabic typewriter.<br /><br />I wonder whether "Al neel" indicates that the typewriter was sold and used in Egypt.Richard Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16232053429935587826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-62686322300360973752011-03-30T21:06:41.605-04:002011-03-30T21:06:41.605-04:00First decal: Al neel, which should mean The Nile....First decal: Al neel, which should mean The Nile.<br />Second decal: too unclear to read<br />Third decal: Continentalm.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13218154252840804691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655653784122131754.post-26018613982166394572011-03-27T00:21:11.338-04:002011-03-27T00:21:11.338-04:00Ah, I see I'm not the only one doing side-by-s...Ah, I see I'm not the only one doing side-by-side closeups of typewriter guts today.
