Description:
Is it an Olympia or is it an Optima? I am not sure! The serial number seems to be a 1951 Optima, but she is named Olympia. Maybe someone can tell me!

Actually working with computers in my professional life I take the old mechanics as a compensation. I prefer machines manufactured before WWII, but I don't despise beautiful and good working typewriters from the fifties and sixties like e.g. the Olympia Splendid.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Olympia Elite on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Olympia Serial Number page and the Olympia Elite By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
