Description:
Continental Standard typewriter from 1928.
German keyboard. Tabulator.
Supports 16 mm two-color tapes. Color switch next to the space bar.
I don't have a good 16 mm tape so I can't make a text sample.
I decided to leave the machine in the condition in which I received it. The varnish damaged by the passage of time gives this machine charm.

I live in Poland. My hobby is restoring analog devices to life. I do all the work, from cleaning, through mechanical repairs, to possible painting, by myself. I learn a lot from it. The love for typewriters began with Hermes 3000, which I received in 2022 from my sister as a gift. And so the collection is slowly growing...
