Second iteration of the Gabriele. Changes over its predecessor are the new keys and carriage.
According to a newspaper ad published in the “Algemeen Handelsblad” of November 22, 1957, the Gabriele was offered for ƒ 309,- without case, while the Norm costed ƒ 414,- and the Perfekt ƒ 448,-. Antoher ad offers the Gabriele with case for ƒ 338,-.
Because I found a case key inside the machine (it was stuck between the body and the frame) I suspect the original owner opted to buy this machine with the case.
