Description:
I've always wanted to have a Continental typewriter with the orange image, the staggered shift keys and this cool rotary decimal decimal. This machine is very dirty, the carriage release lever is bent and the retaining chain for the front flap and three feet are missing.

I come from southern Germany and have been collecting historical typewriters for 10 years. I'm interested in the antique machines built before 1945. All machines built after 1945 are not used for collecting but for writing
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Continental Standard on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Continental Serial Number page and the Continental Standard By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
