Re: Unknown typewriter
Not at all sure, but it looks German to me. Does it take DIN 2103 spools ?

Hi Laurenz
My first guess going by the design of the page support is a Continental. The Wanderer had the same design of page support, but I'm inclined to think this is more of an economy model. Tom made mention of the spool type, what is the diameter of the spool pins, 3mm, 4mm or 6mm? All the best,

We humans go through many computers in our lives, but in their lives, typewriters go through many of us.
In that way, they’re like violins, like ancestral swords. So I use mine with honor and treat them with respect.
I try to leave them in better condition than I met them. I am not their first user, nor will I be their last.

Lau, it looks like a '50s Juwel Mod. 4 to me, but I'd have to compare photos of both to be absolutely sure.
