Description:
One of the first models of the Klein Continental.
I bought it when being on search for the typewriter which was shown in a scene in the movie Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
It was hard to identify, but with the community's help I finally managed it.
Interesting that this typer has completely white keys. Usually Continental has red (1930s) or green (1940s) shift keys.
It need severe cleanup and restoration.

During my other hobby I came to typewriter collecting.
I am a beginner and very selective about which typewriter to pick. When my restoration skills improve, that may change.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Continental Klein Conti on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Continental Serial Number page and the Continental Klein Conti By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
