1955 Simpson's (Oliver) Portable Serial # 559247 1955 Simpson's (Oliver) Portable typewriter, Serial # 559247 Uwe Wachtendorf's 1955 Simpson's (Oliver) Portable typewriter. 2014-12-18 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Uwe Wachtendorf: 1955 Simpson's (Oliver) Portable Serial # 559247 My favorite Oliver variant by virtue of its lush green colour and painted on brand name. Pushing it over the top is its exotic faux animal skin travel case plastered from top to bottom with stickers from the era.

Type action is typical Oliver (or Patria to give credit where it's really due), which is too say it's lovely. Light, tight, and built for speed.
