I just restored a Continental Wanderer typewriter that came with me from Germany in 1983. I have since figured out that it was built in 1937, the year before WW II.
I was a GI at the time, living in a small village in southwest Germany, taking German lessons. I purchased said typewriter from a fellow GI and used it to type my German lessons.
I’m about to write my first letter on it. But first, I have to put a ribbon in it.

What’s a ribbon?
Goes in a typewriter.
What’s a typewriter?
Prints letters and words on paper.
Why would you want to do that?
Oh, well. It’s a print thing.
Nobody understands.
