Description:
Bought on Marketplace. Poor guy is a bit banged up, but functions well despite the look. Needs a deep clean and I'm probably going to look into fully repainting or at least touching up this one. "Standard wear" is one thing, clear damage is another. I think it needs a little love and attention.
Looks to be Universal Elite #468, 12 pitch typeface.

I am quite new to the typewriter world (first bought 6/2023), but I sort of jumped right in with three typewriters in my first week. I am interested in the mechanics of manual typewriters, as well as have an affinity for cleaning up long-forgotten gems. I'm a Smith-Corona fiend, but any nice typewriter will do!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olivetti Lettera 22 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olivetti Serial Number page and the Olivetti Lettera 22 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
