Ooh, I think that looks an awful lot like the one I was watching recently. Congratulations on a beautiful typewriter. So glad it has gone to a good home!
I know, this is a little bit outdated... howsoever... Saxony is also the name of the federal state in Germany those gorgeous Continental (Wanderer-Werke) typewriters were produced. Congratulations, to this particularly beautiful specimen.
I probably should have been more clear about the Saxony vs Germany bit, as I do know Saxony is the area where these were built. They might have chosen to say that instead of Germany thinking of "Anglo-Saxon".
That is an incredibly stunning machine. That's one that I'm sure you're going to keep in your collection for a while.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first got it, it almost felt out of place due to its magnificence.
DeleteIt's just so…wonderful. I'm lucky to have gotten it for what I paid!
What an amazing paint job!
ReplyDeleteThe details are quite fantastic…I prefer the looks to an actual gold-plated typewriter.
DeleteWow! Definitely one to hold on to. For the paint job alone. Have a safe and happy trip, too!
ReplyDeleteThankfully it's also very enjoyable to use. :) I'd have trouble keeping it if it wasn't!
DeleteYeah that is one of the best paint jobs I've seen! Very saxy! Have a good trip. :)

ReplyDeleteRight, see?
DeleteEnjoy on your trip!!
Well, some of the most fantastically colored typewriters were made during the depression!
