| CONTIN Thomas Fuertig collection Continsouza of Paris launched a standard machine in the early 1920's, which in appearance and form was right in line with the standard machines of the day. The "Contin" was actually the Seidel & Naumann IDEAL produced under license in France; it was not the Continental as is commonly assumed. This is a Contin A24, with serial 6273. The Contin series was given letters instead of numbers, this being technically then a "Model A." |
