For anyone who wondered why the last 2 weeks three (or more?) rare Liliputs have turned up in The Netherlands: it was a featured item in the Dutch version of the Antiques Roadshow, valued at 2000-2500 euros (if in working condition).
"It's a Liliput machine, but not for a liliput price tag", Fred Kats (the specialist).
One week before the recordings of this show, I showed mr. Kats my Junior typewriter, see: http://schrijfmachine.blogspot.nl/2012/09/antiques-roadshow.html
I also asked him kindly to give some more attention to typewriters in future shows. It seems he listened to me!
Ah, interesting. I had just noticed the Liliput "for parts" on eBay.
