Description:
I bought the Continental from 1936 together with the Stoewer Record version 2 and the Urania 5 in Lörrach from an old lady. I use this machine almost daily, it has a 13mm ribbon and Din ribbon spools. The other Continental from 1934 looks just like this one, but it has a 16mm ribbon and is therefore not suitable for writing. This machine is perfect for typing, fast, accurate and it has a light touch on the keys.

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
