Here we find the portable version of this tiny typewriter. The intention was to be able to pick it up and use it wherever you may have been. Although early ads for the Virotyp specifically mention that this typewriter was not a toy, it seems that England vendors had other ideas by the time it came to the market in 1920. To your left you will find a clipping from the Daily Mirror from December 9, 1920 advertising the machine along with toys at Hamleys.
